Jeju Air carried a total of 6.51 million passengers in 2021, according to transport ministry on Tuesday. Its domestic passengers counted at 6.46 million in total, a record high and 2 million more compared to a year earlier. This placed its domestic passenger seat occupancy at 19.5 percent, up 2.3 points on year. The company topped the chart for the second year in a row.
Jin Air Co., also a low-cost carrier, followed Jeju Air in total passenger count with 5.84 million, trailed by its parent Korean Air Lines with 5.6 million.
On domestic routes, Jin Air flew 5.81 million passengers, the second largest after Jeju Air. Tway Air Co. came in third with 5.1 million passengers, outrunning full-service carriers Korean Air Lines and Asiana Airlines, which recorded 4.8 million and 4.5 million, respectively.
International flight ticket sales remained subdued for all airlines amid ongoing Covid-19 situation that has restricted cross-border travels.
Korean Air Lines were traveled by 770,000 and Asian Airlines by 506,000. Tway Air recorded 55,000 passengers on international flights, Jeju Air 54,000, and Jin Air 32,000.
