• In the second quarter, the airline achieved a record quarterly revenue of KRW 4.0237 trillion (USD 2.8964 billion), representing a 14% increase year-on-year. This achievement was driven by proactive responses to seasonal changes in passenger demand across networks, and active efforts in securing air cargo demand. Operating profit, however, decreased by 12% year-on-year due to increased fuel and labor costs, and other expenses associated with higher business volume.
• Revenue from the passenger business rose by 10% year-on-year to KRW 2.4446 trillion. This increase was a result of the airline’s expanded capacity across its networks, including China, and strong business and leisure demand to the Americas and Europe.
• Cargo business revenue increased by 14% year-on-year to KRW 1.0972 trillion, driven by increased e-commerce volumes from China on top of steady air cargo demand from the semiconductor, automotive and display industries.
• In Q3, the airline aims to maximize profit by increasing flight frequencies and expanding charter operations during the peak summer travel months. The cargo business will continue to accommodate e-commerce demand with additional charter flights and enhance competitiveness through flexible route operations.
