, “Busan City announced on the 29th that it will publicly recruit ‘international airline operators for new routes to and from Gimhae International Airport’ until the 12th of next month.”,
,
, ‘This recruitment is designed to induce airlines to launch new medium to long-distance routes departing from Busan through financial support.’,
,
, ‘The target of the recruitment includes medium to long-distance regular passenger routes that have operated continuously for more than 6 months from their launch date among routes that have not been operated at Gimhae Airport as of January 1, 2024, and long-distance irregular passenger routes operating more than 4 times a year.’,
,
, ‘For long-distance routes, regardless of the average boarding rate, regular flights per flight will receive support of 10 million won, and irregular flights will receive 20 million won. For medium-distance regular flights, support of 5 million won per flight will only be provided when the average boarding rate is less than the standard boarding rate of 80%.’,

, ‘The financial support budget is a total of 1 billion won, and support will be provided within the budget limit.’,
,
, ‘This year, particular emphasis is placed on supporting the stable operation of long-distance routes over 5000 km in preparation for the opening of Gadeokdo New Airport. The support conditions have been significantly relaxed compared to last year, and the support amount has been increased.’,
,
, ‘For regular long-distance flights, support will be provided regardless of the standard boarding rate (support will be provided if the previous year’s standard boarding rate of 80% was not met). The support amount for irregular long-distance flights has been increased by 5 million won compared to the previous year.’,
,
, ‘Busan Mayor Park Hyung-jun said, “In addition to granting new long-distance operating rights from Busan, it is expected that the first long-distance route departing from Busan will be established this year through this financial support recruitment, fulfilling a long-standing desire of the local aviation industry.”.’,
