SEOUL, South Korea<\/span><\/span>, June 12, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Hybrid service airline Air Premia (CEOs: Yu Myeong<\/span>-seop and Moon Bo<\/span>-kook) announced on June 12<\/span> that it has purchased a spare engine for its Boeing 787-9 aircraft as part of its efforts to build infrastructure for stable operations.<\/p>\n <\/a> With the introduction of the spare engine, the airline expects to improve aircraft availability and customer reliability by enabling quick responses to various unexpected situations such as engine repairs.<\/p>\n Since 2019, Air Premia has had a subscription-based engine care service contract with engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce to continuously supply spare engines. The airline has now secured an additional layer of operational flexibility by owning its own spare engine.<\/p>\n The spare engine purchased is a Rolls-Royce’s “Trent 1000 TEN (Thrust Efficiency and New technology),” the latest version in the Trent engine product line. The Trent 1000 engine is optimized for the Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner, and the improved TEN version offers stronger thrust, lower noise levelsand enhanced fuel efficiency through new technology.<\/p>\n An Air Premia official said, “We will continue to secure spare engines along with the introduction of new aircraft. Since aviation safety is non-negotiable, we will do our utmost to further enhance stability through continuous investment and effort.“<\/span><\/p>\n In addition to purchasing the spare engine, the airline received “Extended Diversion Time Operation (EDTO) 180” approval in June 2023<\/span>, extending the maximum diversion time for its Boeing 787-9\u00a0 to 180 minutes, thus ensuring stable operations on long-haul routes. The airline is also preparing to obtain the International Air Transport Association’s (IATA) International Safety Operational Audit (IOSA) certification, focusing on building infrastructure for stable operations.<\/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 Tokyo<\/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 17<\/span>th, 2024, Air Premia also began flights to San Francisco<\/span> in the United States<\/span>.<\/p>\n To book your flight or discover more about Air Premia, please visit https:\/\/www.airpremia.com\/kr\/en<\/a>.<\/p>\n For media inquiries and interview requests, please contact Seungshin Park, PR Team Leader,\u00a0 ss.park@airpremia.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/p>\n <\/a> <\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" <\/p>\n –\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Air Premia Purchases and Receives One Rolls-Royce Engine Dedicated to B787-9 SEOUL, South Korea<\/span><\/span>, June 12, 2024<\/span><\/span> \/PRNewswire\/ —\u00a0Hybrid service airline Air Premia (CEOs: Yu Myeong<\/span>-seop and Moon Bo<\/span>-kook) announced on June 12<\/span> that it has purchased a spare engine for its Boeing 787-9 aircraft as part of its efforts to build infrastructure for stable operations.<\/p>\n <\/a> With the introduction of the spare engine, the airline expects to improve aircraft availability and customer reliability by enabling quick responses to various unexpected situations such as engine repairs.<\/p>\n Since 2019, Air Premia has had a subscription-based engine care service contract with engine manufacturer Rolls-Royce to continuously supply spare engines.
