SEOUL, September 14 (AJP) - Air Premia will offer a new route to Sapporo, Japan starting this winter, the low-cost carrier said on Sunday.
The route to the island country's popular winter destination will begin on Dec. 2, with flights four times a week on Wednesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays and Sundays, using a Boeing 787-9.
They will depart Incheon at 9:40 a.m. and arrive at New Chitose Airport in Hokkaido at 12:20 p.m. Return flights will leave Sapporo at 1:45 p.m. and arrive back in Incheon at 5:15 p.m.
The upcoming service will be Air Premia's second route to Japan, following its existing route to Narita International Airport, a gateway to Tokyo, as part of its efforts to expand its services to Japan.
Tickets for the new route will go on sale at 10 a.m. next Monday, with promotional discounts to follow a week later.
"We expect our new route will broaden options for customers planning winter travel," an Air Premia spokesman said.
