Air Korea, the short-haul carrier subsidiary of Korean Air, is gearing up for inauguration this coming July. Its inaugural flight will be from Seoul to Jeju, using a Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 189 seats. The airline will acquire two more Boeing 737-800 aircraft this year and two Airbus A300-600 aircraft with 292 seats next year. Air Korea has already secured an office and operational space in Gimpo, Jeju and Busan airports.
Air Korea is also establishing a 100% Internet-based reservation system, which will open in mid-June. To reduce the time at airport check-in counters, Air Korea will not assign seat numbers for each individual passenger. Instead, it will divide the Boeing 737-800 cabin into three zones, and simply designate which zone passengers should be seated according to their time of arrival at the airport.
