Jin Air Launches New Yichang Route in China: Twice Weekly Flights Starting September 17

Gaining Popularity as a Gateway for Combined Tours to Zhangjiajie

Jin Air announced on July 28 that it will launch a new route, operating twice weekly, to Yichang—one of the most historically and culturally significant cities in China's Hubei Province.

The Incheon–Yichang route will operate every Thursday and Sunday from September 17 to October 11. Outbound flights will depart Incheon Airport at 8:25 p.m. and arrive at Yichang Airport at 10:55 p.m. local time. Return flights will depart Yichang at 11:55 p.m. and arrive in Incheon at 4:05 a.m. the next day. The flight takes approximately three hours and thirty minutes. During the peak autumn travel season, from October 12 to November 29, service will increase to four times a week (Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday).

Yichang is connected by land to Zhangjiajie, making it a popular destination for combined travel itineraries. Visitors can conveniently tour breathtaking sights such as Tianmen Mountain, Yuanjiajie, and the Ten-Mile Gallery—some of Zhangjiajie's top attractions. Other major tourist sites include the Three Gorges of the Yangtze River, known for their scenic beauty, and the massive Three Gorges Dam, famous for its imposing water gates.

Following the resumption of its Qingdao and Yantai routes next month, Jin Air plans to further expand its flight offerings to China by introducing this Yichang service.

Additionally, Jin Air is running a promotion offering up to 15% discounts on airfare for the Incheon–Qingdao and Incheon–Yantai routes until August 2. The eligible travel period is until October 24, and even passengers with discounted tickets will receive the same complimentary 15 kg of checked baggage that Jin Air offers to all its customers. The Incheon–Qingdao route will resume on August 8 with six flights per week, increasing to daily service starting in September. The Incheon–Yantai route will begin daily flights from August 18.

Jin Air stated, "With China's visa-free policy now in effect, not only has accessibility improved, but the short flight time also makes travel less burdensome. We hope you can enjoy an unforgettable journey surrounded by nature. Based on reasonable fares and convenient schedules, we will continue to enhance passenger convenience and strengthen the competitiveness of our routes."
