Asiana Airlines is joining hands with Korea University Anam Hospital to attract medical tourists.

On the 8th, Asiana Airlines announced that it signed a "Business Agreement to Revitalize Demand for K-Medical Tourism" at Korea University Anam Hospital.

Accordingly, Asiana Airlines will offer foreign tourists visiting Korea for medical treatment at Korea University Anam Hospital a seasonal airfare discount of 5-15% and one additional free checked baggage allowance.

In addition, Korea University Anam Hospital will provide the basic medical examination, normally priced at 756,000 KRW, at a special Asiana Airlines rate of 600,000 KRW. Additional examination fees will also be discounted by 20%. Furthermore, medical services will be available in English, Russian, and Mongolian.

Previously, since the legalization of attracting foreign patients in Korea in 2009, Asiana Airlines has formed similar partnerships with Hanyang University International Hospital, Yonsei University Medical Center, Soonchunhyang University Central Medical Center, and H Plus Yangji Hospital.

Doosung Kook, Head of Passenger Division at Asiana Airlines, said, "We hope this agreement will serve as a signal to revitalize K-Medical medical tourism, which has been stagnant since the COVID-19 pandemic."
