Jeju Air, Korea's leading low-cost carrier, said Friday it has launched a new route to Singapore as part of efforts to strengthen its service network in the Asian market.
The budget carrier began operating daily flights on the Incheon-Singapore route starting Thursday, the company said in a press release.
Jeju Air already operates a Singapore route departing from Busan, Korea's largest port city, located some 330 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
"The expansion is aimed at meeting travel demand not only to Singapore, a major financial hub and popular resort destination, but also to Indonesia's Batam Island, which is accessible by a one-hour ferry ride," the company said.
Jeju Air currently operates six domestic routes and about 70 international routes with a fleet of 38 Boeing 737-800NG and six Boeing 737-8 aircraft.
