These vouchers can be used on all routes for 3 months from the date of issue. The travel period is valid until the end of this year.
Additionally, for new members wishing to participate in the 1 million passengers breakthrough event, three discount coupons worth a total of 100,000 KRW (20,000 KRW, 30,000 KRW, 50,000 KRW) will be provided to those who newly register by the end of March. The coupons are valid for one month from the date of issue, and the travel period is until the end of this year. Detailed information can be found on the Air Premia website and official SNS.
Yoo Myung-seop, CEO of Air Premia, said, "Reaching 1 million cumulative passengers proves the trust customers have in Air Premia," adding, "We will continue to provide services and routes that meet customer demand and contribute to the development of the aviation industry."
Previously, Air Premia was established in 2017 as an international airline specializing in long-haul routes, pursuing a hybrid airline (HSC) model offering affordable prices and optimized services. However, four years after its launch, in 2021, it began operations not on international routes but on the Gimpo-Jeju route. Since then, it has continued operations with non-stop sightseeing flights and trainee flight practice flights. In July 2022, it started international flights connecting Incheon and Singapore. Subsequently, it launched routes to Ho Chi Minh City, Los Angeles, and Narita in Japan. Currently, it has expanded routes to New York in the U.S., Bangkok in Thailand, and Frankfurt in Germany.
