[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Yong-woo] Air Busan's tourism product that combines the joy of travel and duty-free shopping will be launched again.

There will be a total of five non-landing passenger flights departing and arriving at the same airport in November.

Air Busan announced on the 27th that it will operate three non-landing international sightseeing flights from Gimhae International Airport and two from Gimpo International Airport throughout November.

At Gimhae Airport, two flights will operate on November 20 and one flight on November 27, while at Gimpo Airport, one flight each will operate on November 20 and 27.

The Gimhae Airport departure flights will take a 1 hour and 30 minute journey, flying over Tsushima Island, circling the western Kyushu region of Japan including Saga and Kumamoto, and then returning to Gimhae Airport.

The Gimpo Airport departure flights will take about 2 hours, flying over Daegu and Busan to Tsushima Island, then returning to Gimpo Airport.

Air Busan will sell the non-landing international sightseeing flights departing from Gimhae Airport on November 20 and 27 through its website.

One-way total fares start from 118,700 KRW, and through an in-flight lucky draw event, round-trip domestic flight tickets with Air Busan and Air Busan goods will be offered as prizes.

Also, duty-free products can be pre-purchased at discounts of up to 90% on Air Busan's in-flight duty-free site.

The other three flights (one from Gimhae Airport and two from Gimpo Airport) will operate as charter flights in collaboration with Lotte Duty Free.
