Jeju Air Increases International Connections from Busan

Posted 15/06/2011

South Korean carrier Jeju Air is to add a further international route with a flight between Busan and Bangkok due to start on June 30.  The airline will compete with national carrier Korean Air which offers a daily flight using an Airbus A330-300 and Thai Airways International which has three flights per week using its older A300-600 aircraft.  Jeju Air will offer four flights per week on the route but plans to increase to a daily schedule between July 14 and August 21. 

An estimated 173,000 O&D passengers travelled on the route in the past year, up 6.1 per cent on the previous 12 month period.  Yields have also strengthened significantly on the route with the estimated average fare increasing by 10.6 per cent over the last year to $482 each way.

Schedule:

Busan – Bangkok
7C2251 PUS2030 – 2359BKK 738 x136
7C2252 BKK0100 – 0810PUS 738 x247
