At this meeting, the corporation shared plans to support LCC flight recovery, including the implementation of international flight 'Re-start' incentives, promotion and support for route resumption, strengthening the quarantine system at regional airports, and continuous promotion of aviation-tourism linkage projects.

They also agreed that the corporation and the seven LCCs will strategically cooperate for the prompt normalization of international flights at regional airports.
