Jeju Air and Air Premia to Launch Interline Partnership to Enhance Transfer Convenience

Connecting Air Premia’s North American Routes with Jeju Air’s Network to Japan, Southeast Asia, and Greater China

Jeju Air Operates Interline Partnerships with 21 Airlines—The Most Among Korean Low-Cost Carriers

Jeju Air and Air Premia will launch an interline partnership service starting August 1, aiming to enhance transfer convenience and improve access to North America.

The two carriers announced on July 24 that they had signed an interline agreement in early July to link their route networks and facilitate seamless transfers at Incheon International Airport.

An interline agreement is a partnership in which airlines sell tickets that combine their respective flight routes. This allows passengers to purchase flights operated by multiple airlines on a single ticket, making both ticket purchases and transfers more convenient. For airlines, it provides opportunities to expand their networks and capture increased transfer demand.

Through this interline agreement, passengers arriving in Incheon on Jeju Air flights can transfer directly to Air Premia’s North American routes—Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Honolulu, and Washington, D.C. Conversely, travelers using Air Premia’s North American routes can, at the time of ticketing, also purchase Jeju Air-operated international flights to Japan, China, Taiwan, Singapore, Vietnam, Thailand, Mongolia, Indonesia (over 40 routes in total), as well as domestic flights such as the Incheon–Jeju route.

Baggage services will vary depending on the interline segments. For connections between international flights, checked baggage can be processed all the way from departure to the final destination. If the itinerary includes domestic flights, the interline baggage transfer service is not available. However, for itineraries that include the United States, Air Premia’s free checked baggage allowance will apply uniformly to all segments—both outbound and return—under international regulations.

Currently, Jeju Air maintains interline partnerships with 21 airlines, including Air Premia, Air Canada, United Airlines, and the Lufthansa Group—making it the Korean low-cost carrier with the most interline partnerships.

A Jeju Air representative stated, “We expect to maximize synergy and respond to diverse travel demand by leveraging the combined route networks of both airlines through joint sales. We will continue to enhance transfer convenience and improve related services so that even more customers can travel comfortably.”

An Air Premia representative said, “By connecting Jeju Air's domestic and Asian network with Air Premia's North American routes, we anticipate that passenger convenience will be greatly enhanced. We will continue to broaden our partnerships with various airlines, expanding both travel options and convenience for our customers.”
