Asiana Airlines to launch second LCC

New low-cost carrier Air Seoul is poised to begin domestic operations in early July, once it has received its air operators' certification. This is Asiana Airlines’ second low-cost carrier after Air Busan. Air Seoul will initially operate four daily flights between Seoul’s Gimpo International Airport and Jeju International Airport. Flights will be served by three A321-200 aircraft on loan from Asiana Airlines. While seat details have not been confirmed, expect to find an all-economy layout with seats arranged in a 3-3 configuration as is typical for narrowbody LCCs. Air Seoul is planning to serve international routes from October, although destinations have yet to be revealed. For more information, visit flyasiana.com Clement Huang
