Travellers are now offered a wider range of choices in the air travel market as low-cost airlines in Korea are increasing their international flights.
The moves of Korea, Japan and China to liberalise some aviation rules this year to increase travel traffic among the three countries are also boosting the carriers' overseas operations.
Taking advantage of price competitiveness, budget carriers had taken over 32 per cent of the domestic air travel market. Thanks to their relatively successful performance, the carriers are jumping into the international travel market.
Air Busan, partly owned by the second-largest carrier Asiana Airlines, will start operating international routes in March between the port city of Busan and cities in Japan, Hukuoka and Osaka. Eastar Jet, a new budget carrier based in North Jeolla Province, will also run 11 non-regular flight services between Cheongju and Hong Kong. It plans to fly to some cities in China as it sees an increase in air traffic during the Shanghai Expo.
Jeju Air is currently operating four international routes to Osaka, Kita Kyusu and Bangkok from seoul Incheon, the country's main airport, and one flying to Osaka from Gimpo.
Jin Air, wholly owned by the country's largest air carrier Korean Air, has been running a daily flight to Bangkok from seoul since December 21.
The portion of international operations by the two budget carriers is only 1 per cent of the total. But the market is likely to become competitive as two other carriers - Air Busan and Eastar Jet - are jumping into the race.
In the same month, Jeju Air, owned by cosmetic giant Aekyung Group, will add another route between Gimpo and Nagoya while Jin Air flies to Guam in April.
Jin Air saw 94 per cent of available seats on its Bangkok route occupied since late last year. Ticket reservation for this month is already full, Park Jeong-hoon, publicist for Jin Air, said.
What attracts most travellers to choose low-cost carriers are competitive prices, industry officials said. The average ticket price offered by budget carriers is 20-40 per cent lower than major carriers.
For an example, a ticket for a flight between seoul and Bangkok ranges from 670,000 won (US$576) to 920,000 won with major carriers, while budget carriers offer tickets from 470,000 won to 650,000 won.
Low-cost carriers say they reduce operation costs by not offering mileage, hot meals, magazines or newspapers, but no major changes in service quality compared to other major carriers, Park of Jin Air said.
Budget carriers expanding their business in overseas market will eventually increase the size of the country's air transport market, officials at the land, transport and maritime affairs ministry said.
"We expect that the growth of budget carriers will increase the size of the air market, as well as bring a healthy impact to the market currently dominated by the two major airlines," said Shim Ji-young, an official at the transport ministry.
With low-cost carriers gaining popularity even in the short-distance international routes, major carriers will have to focus on long-haul travel or find new destinations, she explained.
Business portfolios for budget carriers are bright, they could also attract Korean pop culture fans in Southeast Asia wanting to visit Korea but on a tight budget, the official said. Low-cost carriers are already popular in Europe and in North America taking 30-50 per cent of the market share there, according to the government.

Africa will be AirAsia X next destination
long haul low cost airlines AirAsia X plan to make Africa its next major destination, said AirAsia Bhd group chief executive officer Tony Fernandes.
“Our team has just come back from South Africa, Egypt and Morocco. We are currently studying new routes, landing rights and potential markets that we are about to venture into,” he said after launching the AirAsia-CAE (Canadian Aviation Electronics) Asian Aviation Academy here Monday (June 20).“We see a lot of potential in Kenya and Somalia. We will definitely fly there (African continent) at some stage. AirAsia is always looking for new market opportunities and this includes other parts of the world as well,” he said.
He said AirAsia X flights to Africa would be focused on destinations in the central and southern part of the continent.
Former prime minister Mahathir Mohamad had suggested that the low-cost airline should consider Africa as its next major destination.
He had said during the Langkawi International Dialogue 2011 that the airline could either fly there on its own or join forces with African airlines to provide services between Kuala Lumpur and cities in the continent.
On the Asian Aviation Academy, Fernandes said the 200 million ringgit joint venture between AirAsia and CAE was aimed at training pilots, cabin crew, maintenance workers and ground personnel for airlines in the Asean region.
“We are planning to train some 12,000 pilots a year and we forecast that the number of trainees will grow exponentially.
“Pilot training programmes will be available from July 1 while non-pilot training programmes will commence on October 1,” he said, adding that it also accepted trainees from other airlines.
CAE group president Jeff Roberts said the training centre would include six CAE-built full-flight simulators, including four for the Airbus A320 and one each for the A330/340 and Boeing 737 Classic.

Delta Pittsburgh Paris DL 38 become daily flights
Delta airlines expanded nonstop flights between Pittsburgh and Paris-Charles de Gaulle as a vote of confidence for the international air travel market.
Delta begin operating the PIT CDG service daily, an increase of two flights each week, beginning June 1, 2011 for the summer travel season. ticket reservation are available at Delta.com and other ticketing outlets.
Beginning June 1, Delta Flight DL 38 departs daily from Pittsburgh (PIT) at 6:35 pm and arrives at Paris (CDG) at 8:20 am the next day. Delta Flight DL 39 departs daily from Paris (CDG) at 11:10 am and arrives in Pittsburgh (PIT) at 2:05 pm.
The Pittsburgh to Paris-Charles De Gaulle flight offers travelers connections to more than 100 destinations in Europe and beyond. The flight is currently offered four days each week, with Pittsburgh departures on Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, and Sunday; and Paris departures on Monday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday.
“Interest in Pittsburgh among global business decision-makers has never been higher. Non-stop transatlantic service that bypasses crowded East Coast hubs provides a real competitive advantage for hundreds of foreign-owned firms in our region as well as US-based businesses that are expanding internationally. Delta’s announcement reaffirms the global strength of our regional economy,” said Dennis Yablonsky, CEO, Allegheny Conference on Community Development.
“Delta is happy to be able to expand our nonstop service between Pittsburgh International Airport and Paris-Charles de Gaulle to daily service for summer 2011, providing more travel options for our Pittsburgh customers during the peak travel season,” said Wayne Aaron, Delta’s vice president – Marketing Programs and Distribution Strategy. “It’s part of our ongoing commitment to the city, which includes Delta’s 31 daily nonstop flights to seven cities from Pittsburgh International Airport.”
The Pittsburgh to Paris flight via Delta Air Lines was launched on June 3, 2009, with the help of the Regional Air Service Partnership – a partnership of the Allegheny Conference, Allegheny County and the Allegheny County Airport Authority – which made direct, non-stop service to Europe a top priority.
The flight has performed significantly better in its second year of service beginning in June 2010, said Ken Zapinski, Allegheny Conference senior vice president for transportation and infrastructure. The ultimate fate of the flight will depend in large part on the level of support for the flight in the upcoming winter and spring travel seasons, he said. “We need to keep up the performance to ensure this service continues,” Zapinski said.

Asiana Airlines Korean in-flight meal
Amid the heightened attention on Korean cuisine in Korea, local airlines are also focusing on giving foreign visitors a positive first impression of the country by presenting tasty, authentic Korean cuisine.
Since October 2002, Asiana Airlines has been serving a four-course in-flight meal named "Gungjung Jeongchan" for first-class passengers flying to Europe and North America.
A decent in-flight Korean food experience is not limited to just first and business class travellers.
Ssambap or rice served with leafy vegetables and beef, is one of the most popular in-flight meals on Asiana Airlines' European and American routes.
Featuring six different vegetables, the uniquely Korean delicacy won the company a gold medal from International Travel Catering Association for the food and beverages served on its long-haul flights in 2006.
"Improving the quality of in-flight meals is an efficient way of boosting the popularity of Korean cuisine," Han Tae-geun, senior vice president, told The Korea Herald. "We are working hard to make Korean dishes known better as a healthy option," he added.
"Many foreign passengers using our planes are those who have great interest in Korean culture, so they never mind venturing into the world of Korean food - even though they are total strangers to it," said Byun En-hyang, an Asiana flight attendant. "We provide them with a written explanation of how to wrap the rice with a vegetable and beef, together with the meal, and they really enjoy doing it," added Byun who has been with Asiana since 1995.
The key to a delicious ssambap, according to Asiana, is the combination of fresh vegetables and high-quality marinated beef. But the company says the taste and quality of soy sauce are just as important. For this reason, the airline developed an exclusive paste, mixing powdered walnuts, pine nuts, peanuts, sunflower seeds and pumpkin seeds with soybean paste.
Since October, the carrier has also been offering a traditional rice wine known as makgeolli on all routes going to and from Japan. The new move is part of Asiana's efforts to globalise Korean food as well as encourage the consumption of rice.
Made from fermented rice, makgeolli is one of the most popular traditional liquors. Asiana's makgeolli is served with acorn-starch jelly or dotorimuk.
Other Korean dishes available on Asiana planes include kimchi fried rice, a popular second meal option on its routes; samgyetang, steamed chicken stuffed with sticky rice and ginseng, which has traditionally eaten in the hot summer months to replenish energy; and bibimbap, which since introduced in 1998 has been one of the most popular food choices

arrive early for checkin and security at Pittsburgh Airport
With increased traffic and the heavy summer travel months just ahead, the Allegheny County Airport Authority is reminding travelers to arrive at Pittsburgh International Airport at least 90 minutes to two hours before the scheduled departure of their flight.
The Airport Authority reports that there are two security checkpoints at Pittsburgh International Airport. The Main Checkpoint -- on the Transit Level of the Landside Terminal – is open 24 hours, while the Alternate Checkpoint – located just outside of the Ticketing Level of the Landside Terminal – is open from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m.
“Our passenger traffic has steadily increased over the past year,” said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director and CEO, of the Allegheny County Airport Authority. “We have been very busy at the security checkpoints at certain times of the day. We are asking passengers to allow enough time for the security process and be aware of security issues.”
Passengers arriving at the airport and going through the checkpoint are reminded that if they are not checking luggage, they can print their boarding pass at home or use boarding pass kiosks at the airport to avoid lines at the ticket counter.
To expedite the screening process, passengers are reminded to follow the Transportation Security Administration’s 3-1-1 rule for liquid or gels in carry-on luggage. The 3-1-1 rule is: no more than 3 ounces of a liquid or gel in a container; all containers must be packed in a clear 1-quart, zip top bag; and only 1 bag per passenger.
The Allegheny County Airport Authority urges travelers to visit the TSA’s website at www.tsa.gov prior to traveling. Understanding the security process greatly expedites the screening process for all.

military benefit program Pittsburg Airport
The Allegheny County Airport Authority is launching a unique program to benefit members of the military who are traveling at Pittsburgh International Airport.
The Serve-A-Soldier program at the Military and Family Comfort Center at Pittsburgh International Airport will present the first AIRMALL gift certificates to active members of the U.S. Military on February 9, 2011. The purpose of the program is to offer AIRMALL gift cards to soldiers who visit the Military and Family Comfort Center on Concourse A when they are departing for flights. The soldiers can use them to buy a meal at the Pittsburgh International Airport AIRMALL before they leave on a tour of duty. The certificates are funded by donations made by organizations and individuals. The Military and Family Comfort Center at Pittsburgh International Airport opened next to Gate A4 in November of 2008. It is operated by the Pittsburgh International Airport Volunteer Ambassadors and is open from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. weekdays and from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. weekends. The room offers a respite to active and retired members of all branches of the United States Military and their families.
“It is with great pride that we are able to launch this program thanks to the many donations from around the region and across the country,” said Bradley D. Penrod, Executive Director and CEO of the ACAA. “This is a simple, but an important, gesture that makes a difference in a service member’s day.”
Clinton Aurin, a Volunteer Ambassador at Pittsburgh International Airport and student at Hopewell Area High School, created the program for his Senior Project for the 2010-11 school year. By seeking donations from the public and private sectors, Clinton hopes to raise enough money to provide active members of the military a $10 gift certificate to be used at AIRMALL restaurants.
“I wanted to do something that made a direct impact and showed support for our troops,” said Clinton, who is also an Eagle Scout. “Serve-A-Soldier will be a great way to show our appreciation for those defending our freedom. The Military and Family Comfort Center is now able to provide a free meal in addition to the light snacks, coffee, and water already served.”
So far a total of $4,200 has been raised through donations from the public to support Serve-A-Soldier. Additionally, AIRMALL, USA, which operates the concession program at Pittsburgh International Airport, has donated $1,000 worth of AIRMALL gift certificates to the cause.
“All of us are thrilled with the donations raised so far,” said Jeff Martinelli, Allegheny County Airport Authority, Public Affairs Manager, who manages the Ambassador program. “This is an outstanding project that makes a visit to our Military and Family Comfort Center an even greater service for our military.” About 100 active members of the military visit the Center every month.
Donations to Serve-A-Soldier can be made in the form of a check or money order, payable to the Allegheny County Airport Authority. “Serve–A-Soldier” must be written in the check’s memo area. Donations should be sent to: Allegheny County Airport Authority; ATTN: “Serve-A-Soldier;” PO Box 12370; Pittsburgh, PA 15231.
