Air Premia announced on May 12 that the Incheon-San Francisco route, which will mark its first anniversary of operation on May 17, has achieved a market share of 10.5%.
From May last year to April this year, Air Premia transported approximately 89,000 passengers out of a total of about 845,000 passengers on this route. In the year prior to Air Premia's launch (May 2023 to April 2024), the total number of passengers on this route was around 689,000. Air Premia evaluated that the number of passengers increased by 22.6% year-on-year, making a significant contribution to the growth in demand for the San Francisco route.
With the launch of the new route, demand for multi-segment journeys to North America also surged. A total of 11,787 customers purchased multi-city tickets (with different outbound and return routes) connecting the western and eastern United States via Air Premia, representing a 951% increase compared to the same period last year (1,122 customers).
To celebrate the first anniversary of the route, Air Premia is holding a special discount promotion for the San Francisco route until May 19. The travel period is from today until March 28 next year, with round-trip fares (including fuel surcharges and airport taxes) starting from 1,480,200 won for Premium Economy Class and 630,200 won for Economy Class. More details are available on the official Air Premia website.
An Air Premia official stated, "The launch of the San Francisco route has greatly improved accessibility for travel to North America," adding, "We will continue to enhance customer convenience by expanding new routes to North America and strengthening interline partnerships."
