Air Busan's performance is ”good”... Operating profit for January to March is ”up about 50%” compared to last year = Korea

Korean low-cost carrier Air Busan announced on the 14th that it had sales of 272.2 billion won (about 26 billion yen) and operating profit of 70.9 billion won (about 81.5 billion yen) for the first quarter of this year (January to March).
This represents a 27.8% increase in sales and a 48.3% increase in operating profit compared to the same period last year, and is also the fourth quarterly increase.
The reason for this "good performance" is that the demand for medium- and short-distance travel has surged last year due to the "pent-up effect" (a sudden recovery in suppressed consumer demand),
In particular, the continued demand for travel to Japan due to the weak yen has had a positive effect on Air Busan, which mainly operates on Japan routes.
Air Busan currently operates four routes between Gimhae Airport and Incheon Airport, connecting Fukuoka, Osaka, Tokyo (Narita), and Sapporo.
The airline is also working to capitalize on the trend of travel to smaller cities in Japan, such as by launching a new regular route between Busan and Matsuyama. It is also said that routes to China are regaining their vitality.
An Air Busan official said, "We will closely monitor market conditions and travel trends and develop agile strategies to operate routes flexibly and increase the efficiency of aircraft operations.
That’s the plan,” he said.
