Air Premia announced it exceeded one million passengers for the year — operating 3,808 flights from January through December 10. The carrier has grown steadily since launching (2021: 81,457; 2022: 98,153; 2023: 671,483; 2024: 766,503) and reached the one-million mark in its fifth year. The airline attributed the milestone to fleet expansion (two additional Boeing 787-9s added this year) and new long-haul routes, especially to the Americas, despite having no domestic network. Asian routes (including Da Nang and Hong Kong) accounted for over half the traffic at about 520,000 passengers. Revenue rose with passenger growth, approaching 500 billion won last year, helped by higher per-passenger yields on long-haul services. Air Premia expects to carry over 100,000 passengers monthly next year after end-of-year aircraft deliveries and plans to continue growth through competitive route development and differentiated service.
