SEOUL: Jin Air Co, the South Korean budget carrier unit of Korean Air Lines Co, said Friday it will open the Busan-Kota Kinabalu route next month as travel demand recovers amid eased Covid-19 virus curbs.

Jin Air will operate a 189-seat B737-800 on the route and provide seven flights a week starting Dec 23. It will resume services on the Busan-Sapporo route in late December, Yonhap news agency quoted the company’s statement.

The company will be serving flights on nine international routes from Busan, 453 kilometres south of Seoul, at the end of this year.

From Incheon, 15 international routes will be available.
