The seating consists of a total of 344 seats, including 35 premium economy seats and 309 economy seats. The 7th aircraft is scheduled to begin operations after completing inspections by relevant authorities for commercial flights.

Air Premia plans to secure operational stability by utilizing the 7th aircraft as well as the upcoming 8th and 9th aircraft, and to expand its flight schedule by increasing the frequency on existing routes. Starting May 10, it will add one weekly flight on the San Francisco route, and from May 30, it will operate a night flight on the Los Angeles (LA) route. In the second half of the year, it will diversify its flight schedule by launching new routes to the Americas.

An Air Premia official said, "Once the two aircraft scheduled for this year are introduced, not only will operational stability improve, but customer travel convenience will also increase," adding, "We will do our best to ensure safety and punctuality."
