Air Premia Wins Cargo Category at 'Incheon Airport Awards'
Selected as 'Airline of the Year' in Cargo Transport
Recorded 34,546 Tons of Cargo in 2025
Air Premia was recognized for its cargo transport achievements at the 25th anniversary ceremony of Incheon International Airport. The main factors behind this recognition are the attraction of high value-added cargo and the expansion of its North American network.
On March 30, Air Premia announced that it was selected as 'Airline of the Year in the Air Cargo Carrier Category' at the 10th Incheon Airport Awards (ICN Awards). This award was established to encourage resident organizations that have contributed to the airport’s operations and service improvement, and Air Premia received high marks in the cargo transport service quality category.
In 2025, Air Premia’s net cargo transport volume reached 34,546 tons, a 47.5% increase compared to the previous year’s 23,424 tons. This is the highest cargo transport performance among domestic airlines, excluding full-service carriers (FSC) and airlines specializing in cargo.
The company also strengthened its capabilities in special cargo transport. In December 2025, Air Premia obtained the International Air Transport Association (IATA) CEIV Pharma certification for pharmaceutical air transport quality. Among domestic airlines, excluding the two major national carriers, Air Premia is the only one to hold this certification.
In terms of network expansion, in July of last year, Air Premia signed an interline agreement with Amazon Air Cargo and launched a new North American air cargo route, the 'Aloha Express,' via Hawaii. Under this arrangement, Air Premia handles the Incheon–Hawaii segment, while Amazon Air Cargo manages the Hawaii–mainland US segment.
