Jeju Air Resumes Flights to Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi... "Expanding Market Share"

Jeju Air announced on the 16th that it ranked first among low-cost carriers (LCCs) in the number of passengers transported on Vietnam routes.

According to statistics from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's Aviation Information Portal System, Jeju Air transported approximately 98,200 passengers, accounting for 15% of the total 635,600 passengers transported by all domestic airlines from January 1 to February 28 this year. Among domestic low-cost carriers, it achieved first place with 27%. It also recorded an average load factor of 93.8%, surpassing the 90% load factor during the same period in 2019 before COVID-19.

Jeju Air currently operates four routes: Incheon~Da Nang, Nha Trang (Nha Trang), Busan~Da Nang, and Muan~Da Nang. In the fourth quarter of last year, when air travel demand began to recover in earnest, it transported about 76,700 passengers, double the approximately 35,800 passengers from the previous quarter, showing a steep upward trend.

Jeju Air will resume operating the Incheon~Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi routes seven times a week starting April 20. Known as the "Paris of the East," Ho Chi Minh City and the capital Hanoi offer different charms compared to Da Nang and Nha Trang.
