Brian Kim, the inaugural branch manager of Air Premia's Los Angeles (LA) office, has joined Parata Airlines. He will establish the LA branch and build a local operational foundation in preparation for the launch of routes in May 2027.
Parata Airlines announced on October 16 that it has appointed Brian Kim, a former Air Premia executive, as the first manager of its LA branch. Kim is an expert in the North American market with over 20 years of experience in the aviation industry.
Since 2022, Kim has served as the first LA branch manager for Air Premia, where he developed the local operational and ground handling systems necessary for new route launches. He later oversaw all aspects of local operations, including sales and marketing, business development, and organizational and financial management.
Parata Airlines plans to leverage Kim's experience in launching new routes and his local network to establish a stable operational base and expand collaboration with local travel agencies and business partners.
Brian Kim stated, "I will solidify the local foundation for Parata Airlines to enter the U.S. market reliably, drawing on the experience and network I have built in the North American aviation market."
Meanwhile, Parata Airlines has recently completed a contract for its sixth aircraft, an Airbus A320-200. The airline is expanding its international operations, including the launch of a new route from Incheon to Shenzhen next month.
