Air Busan to operate two more flights on Busan-Hong Kong route

Air Busan, a South Korean budget airline, has said that it will operate two more flights from Busan to Hong Kong starting on March 31. Busan in southeastern part of South Korea is the country's second largest city.

The carrier said it will operate five night flights on weekdays on the Busan-Hong Kong route with the 162-seat A320 passenger jet. It currently offers three flights per week.

Air Busan started operation on the route in May 2011 for the convenience of travelers who want to visit both Hong Kong and Macau on a trip. It began offering a new route package, "Busan-Macau-Hong Kong-Busan," last July.
