Jeju Air said on the 27th that it marked the first anniversary of launching its Incheon–Bali route.
According to aviation statistics from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, since Jeju Air launched service, the quarterly average number of passengers carried by all Korean carriers on the Incheon–Bali route in the first to third quarters of this year was about 115,000, up 61.7% from the average of about 71,000 in the first to third quarters of last year.
Jeju Air said that with the launch of the Incheon–Bali route, a multi-airline operation system among Korean carriers has been established, widening travelers' choices and continuously increasing the number of passengers using the Bali route.
Jeju Air signed a codeshare agreement with Indonesia's Lion Air Group in June last year, becoming the first domestic low-cost carrier (LCC) to secure rights to operate the Incheon–Bali route, and operated on a seven-days-a-week (daily) schedule starting in October of the same year.
Jeju Air is holding a fare discount promotion to mark the first anniversary of the route.
A Jeju Air official said, "Since Jeju Air launched the Incheon–Bali route, consumers have been able to travel to Bali at lower prices," and added, "We will work to ensure customers can experience new destinations at reasonable prices."
