The inauguration ceremony for the San Francisco-Incheon route took place at San Francisco<\/span> International Airport on May 17<\/span> at 1:30 pm<\/span> local time. The event was attended by Air Premia CEO Yoo Myung<\/span>-sub and other distinguished guests.<\/p>\n

Flights on the San Francisco-Incheon route are scheduled for Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays, and Sundays. Departures from San Francisco<\/span> International Airport are at 3:00 pm<\/span> local time, arriving at Incheon International Airport at 7:50 pm<\/span> the following day. The return flights depart from Incheon International Airport at 5:30 pm<\/span> local time, landing at San Francisco Airport at 12:30 pm<\/span>.<\/p>\n

According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s aviation information portal, Air Premia carried over 671,500 passengers last year, with more than 229,300 on the Los Angeles<\/span> and New York<\/span> routes alone. This figure represents 11.6% of the total passengers carried by national carriers, offering new travel options across the Americas.<\/p>\n

Additionally, Air Premia has increased its Los Angeles<\/span> flights to a daily schedule and introduced irregular flights to Honolulu<\/span>, further expanding its American network. The increase in flights is expected to significantly enhance cargo operations, especially with the use of belly cargo. With nearly 60% of last year’s cargo revenue generated from operations in the Americas, the new San Francisco<\/span> route is poised to further boost these figures.<\/p>\n

To enhance convenience for travelers to the Americas, Air Premia has also joined the TSA Pre-Check program as the third national carrier, simplifying airport security procedures. Furthermore, the implementation of online check-in systems at American airports is set to improve boarding processes.<\/p>\n

“The Americas are Air Premia’s most important strategic route,” said CEO Yoo Myung<\/span>-sub. “We plan to offer more routes and flights, creating more diverse options for Korean immigrants and local travelers heading to Korea.”<\/p>\n

About Air Premia<\/p>\n

Air Premia, the only long-haul specialized airline in South Korea<\/span>, operates on the philosophy of being a “beloved airline that provides high-quality services with only the essentials” and offers premium services comparable to full-service carriers (FSCs) at reasonable prices.<\/p>\n

Since commencing its first international flights in July 2022<\/span>, Air Premia has rapidly established itself by flying to destinations such as Los Angeles<\/span>, New York<\/span>, Bangkok<\/span>, and Narita<\/span>. Notably, it operates long-haul routes that low-cost carriers (LCCs) typically do not cover, all while maintaining a competitive edge in pricing compared to FSCs. This aligns well with the current trend of “value-for-money travel.” Starting from May 17th<\/span>, Air Premia will also begin flights to San Francisco<\/span> in the United States<\/span>.<\/p>\n
