- In its first year of service, Air Premia's Incheon-New York
route has quickly established itself as a preferred choice for
travelers. To celebrate this milestone, Air Premia is offering a
limited time special fares and additional flights.
NEW
YORK, May 24, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Hybrid
airline Air Premia is celebrating its first year of launching the
Incheon-New York route. Making it first flight on May 22 last year, the route has successfully
operated 393 flights, transported 108,717 passengers with an
impressive average occupancy rate of 90%.
Under the leadership of CEO Yoo
Myung-sub and COO Moon
Bo-kook, Air Premia has capitalized on its strategic use of
Newark Liberty International Airport, offering more convenient
access to Manhattan compared to
the John F. Kennedy International
Airport, which is believed to have influenced the airlines'
popularity. Moreover, Air Premia is the only national airline that
operates the Incheon-New York route four times a week (Monday,
Wednesday, Friday, Sunday) at Newark Liberty International
Airport.
Demographic insight revealed that 57% of passengers were female
and 43% were male. The route appeals most strongly to younger
travelers, with 22.6 in their 20s, followed by 19.3% in their 60s
and above, and 19% in their 30s. Additionally, 15% were in their
50s, 12.7% in their 40s, and 11.4% were under 19 years old. In line
with the characteristics of the route, where many family members
and acquaintances visit, it was found that New Yorkers also used
Air Premia often. Round-trip passengers departing from New York accounted for nearly half (49.1%),
while those departing from Korea accounted for 50.9%.
To commemorate this achievement, Air Premia hosted a special
event at the New York Country Club on May
22. The event was attended by around 80 people, including
local political and business leaders, media and travel agents.
Expressing his confidence in Air Premia's promising future, Branch
Manager Choi Hyeon-chul said, "The
first anniversary of the New York
route is a growth engine for the company and the creation of new
value for customers and the market. We are deeply grateful to our
customers and the local community for their support and trust in
Air Premia. In return, we are committed to delivering unparalleled
customer satisfaction and continued innovation in value
creation."
As part of the celebration, Air Premia is selling special
airline tickets for this route until May
29th. The tickets are available from 1,143,900 won for a round-trip and the boarding
period is until the end of February next year. Furthermore, during
the peak summer season from July 11 to
August 15, the airline will increase its service to include
