This new route follows Eastar Jet’s acquisition in April of international air transport rights for 11 routes to China from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. As part of this, Daegu was allocated routes to Zhangjiajie and Shanghai.

Eastar Jet will operate the Daegu-Zhangjiajie route from September 1 to October 23, aligning with the peak travel season for the route, and plans to launch the Daegu-Shanghai route during next year’s summer season as well.

A representative from Eastar Jet stated, "We expect the launch of the Daegu route to significantly expand air travel options for residents of the Yeongnam region. In addition, we will strive to help attract more tourists from Greater China to visit Daegu."
