- An interline agreement with Korean Air, sale of connecting
flight tickets departing from the Americas from the 27th
- Scheduled to sign an interline agreement with Alaska
Airlines in the first half of the year
SEOUL,
South Korea, May 27, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Hybrid airline Air Premia (CEO Yoo Myung-sub, Moon
Bo-kook) announced on the 27th that it has signed an
interline agreement with Korean Air and will begin selling
connecting tickets for flights departing from the Americas.
Interline is a form of partnership in which a specific airline
sells another airline's operating routes in conjunction with its
own operating routes. Customers who use interline can purchase
sections operated by multiple airlines with one ticket and use it
conveniently without checking in or baggage claim when
transferring, and airlines can expand routes and attract transfer
passengers.
Through this interline agreement, Air Premia passengers
departing from the Americas (New
York, LA, San Francisco)
will be able to purchase a single ticket by combining Korean Air
flights when traveling to Southeast or Northeast Asia via Incheon. Interline tickets
are sold through travel agencies.
Air Premia's flights departing from New York can be connected to eight routes of
Korean Air, including Tokyo,
Osaka, Nagoya, Fukuoka, Beijing, Shanghai, Hong
Kong, and Bangkok.
Flights departing from LA are connected to four routes including
Bangkok, Ho Chi Minh City, Manila, and Singapore via Incheon, and San Francisco, which newly launched on
May 17, is connected to the
Incheon-Singapore route.
Meanwhile, Air Premia plans to complete an interline agreement
with Alaska Airlines, the 5th largest airline in the United States, within the first half of
the year. Once the interline partnership with Alaska Airlines is
concluded, the convenience of travel will increase as passengers
will be able to use 110 U.S. domestic routes and transfer flights
to 6 Central and South American countries, including Mexico and Costa
Rica.
Through the interline, Air Premia stated that the company is now
able to provide a wider range of connecting flights to the
passengers and will continue to expand skyway by increasing
partnerships with major airlines.
