The Busan–Taichung route will operate five times a week on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays starting March 30. Flights will depart from Gimhae Airport at 1:35 p.m. and arrive locally at 3:00 p.m., with a flight time of about 2 hours and 25 minutes. Taichung is a city where visitors can enjoy both modern art and traditional cuisine in Taiwan. It is about one hour away from Taipei by train, making multi-city travel possible, and it is a highly preferred destination among travelers in their 20s and 30s.

Starting April 2, the first non-stop Miyakojima route from the Yeongnam region will be launched, operating twice a week on Thursdays and Sundays. Flights will depart from Busan at 2:45 p.m. and arrive locally after about 2 hours and 15 minutes. Miyakojima is a resort island located about 300 km southwest of Okinawa’s main island, famous for its cobalt-blue sea and for the Irabu Bridge, a popular driving course that is the longest toll-free bridge in Japan at 3,540 meters.

From Jeju Airport, the Jeju–Hong Kong route will operate daily with seven flights a week starting April 2. Flights will depart Jeju at 9:30 p.m., and from Hong Kong, flights will depart at 2:00 a.m. local time the following day. The flight time is about 3 hours. With this new service, the airline expects to attract not only Korean tourists but also inbound tourists from Hong Kong.

All new routes will include Jin Air’s complimentary 15 kg checked baggage allowance as a standard service. A Jin Air representative said, “Passengers will be able to enjoy diverse art, exotic seas, and vibrant cityscapes according to their preferences, and we hope they will plan their spring trips with our relaxed schedules and reasonable fares.”
