About Jin Air
Jin Air (ICAO: JNA) is a South Korean low-cost carrier, established on January 23, 2008, and began operations in July of the same year with an inaugural flight from Seoul Gimpo to Jeju. It was founded as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Korean Air, leveraging its parent company's resources and expertise to enter the burgeoning low-cost market. The airline was initially known as Air Korea before being officially renamed Jin Air on June 15, 2008. In 2017, Jin Air had its initial public offering and market debut. As of November 2025, Jin Air operates as the primary low-cost brand of the Korean Air Group, following the planned integration with Asiana Airlines' LCC subsidiaries, Air Seoul and Air Busan.
The airline maintains its main hub at Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN) and a secondary hub at Seoul Gimpo International Airport (GMP) for domestic operations. Its focus cities also include Busan and Jeju. Jin Air operates an all-Boeing fleet, which, as of November 2024/2025, includes Boeing 737-800s, Boeing 737-900s, Boeing 737 MAX 8s, and Boeing 777-200ERs. The introduction of Airbus A321neo aircraft is confirmed from 2026, diversifying its fleet beyond Boeing. Jin Air is notable as one of the few low-cost carriers in Korea to operate wide-body Boeing 777-200ER aircraft.
Jin Air's route network primarily spans South Korea and Asia, with a focus on regional destinations. As of November 2025, it serves 13 domestic destinations and 24 international destinations across nine countries. Its international reach includes popular routes to Japan, China, Thailand, Vietnam, and long-haul services to Guam. The airline is not a member of any major global airline alliances like Star Alliance, SkyTeam, or Oneworld. As a low-cost carrier, Jin Air offers affordable fares. For cabin classes, while primarily economy, it features Jiniplus seats on its Boeing 777 aircraft, offering extra legroom, and a limited Jinibiz business class option on some Boeing 737-900 planes. In-flight services include pre-ordered meals, beverages, and duty-free shopping. Wi-Fi is available on Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft, with various package options. Jin Air has also operated cargo services since November 2013.
