Eastar Jet to Operate Non-Scheduled Flights to Datong, Nantong, and Ningbo in China

Targeting Summer Vacation Demand

Eastar Jet announced on June 22 that it will operate non-scheduled flights from Incheon to Datong, Nantong, and Ningbo during the peak season when local demand from China is on the rise.

Eastar Jet has scheduled these non-scheduled flights to China in anticipation of increased travel demand to Korea during the local summer vacation season in China.

The Incheon-Datong route will operate twice a week from July 9 to August 30, the Incheon-Nantong route will operate twice a week from July 3 to August 31, and the Incheon-Ningbo route will operate twice a week from August 1 to October 10. Across all three routes, a total of 110 flights will be scheduled, providing more than 20,000 seats.

An Eastar Jet official stated, "By flexibly operating non-scheduled flights during the peak season when demand from Chinese travelers to Korea is increasing, we plan to maximize route profitability. We are also working on additional charter flights focused on Greater China routes."

Meanwhile, in the first half of this year, Eastar Jet secured rights to operate a total of 11 routes to China in the regular traffic rights allocation, including Incheon-Xiamen, Busan-Shanghai, Busan-Beijing, Busan-Hangzhou, and Cheongju-Shanghai, and plans to launch flights on these routes sequentially starting in the second half of this year.
