“If quarantine security measures are ensured, the government should apply the travel bubble to business and individual travel,” said Kwang-ok Kim, vice president of the Korea Civil Aviation Association. The figure showed that 85% of foreign tourists to South Korea before the pandemic were solo travelers. Asiana Airlines, South Korea`s second-largest airline, and Jeju Air, a no-frills airline, carried a total of 92 passengers to Saipan on Saturday. However, only six passengers traveled under the latest travel bubble arrangement. The other passengers were important travelers, such as residents and students, according to local media. T`way Air also offers services in Saipan. Although the pandemic is far from over, Air Premia, a brand new low-cost airline, has received government approval to operate. The airline takes off on medium-haul and long-haul routes with a Boeing 787-9. The airline will announce its maiden flight later and subject to pandemic conditions.

In addition, South Korean and Japanese entrepreneurs have called for avoiding quarantine for fully vaccinated entrepreneurs. They also called on Seoul and Tokyo to sign an air transport bubble to boost the economy. The South Korean government is trying to build a travel bubble with Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand and Guam, another region of the Pacific Ocean, to save the aviation and tourism industry. According to the agreement, Koreans are allowed to travel to Saipan as part of a group tour and spend the night in designated hotels. The country`s airlines have said the current travel bubble guidelines are not far enough, and they have lobbied for future arrangements to be extended to individual travel as well. As the coronavirus rages around the world, Korean airlines have shut down the majority of international services and focused on their cargo services. However, the two largest airlines plan to resume service to Guam, Singapore, Hawaii and Taiwan later this year. On Tuesday, Indonesia`s Ministry of Transport lifted its ban on the Boeing 737 MAX, three years after the first. At the same time, low-cost airlines such as Air Seoul and Jeju Air are struggling to survive because they depend on passenger transportation.

The country plans to achieve herd immunity by November after rolling out its vaccination program. But in the midst of this fourth wave, many Koreans believed that the worst was over. According to ITA Airways, Italy`s national airline offers three classes of travel on board its aircraft: Business Class on Long and. Earlier, the government announced that passengers in the country stood at 16.67 million in the first half of 2021, a 29 percent drop from the same period last year. Due to travel restrictions worldwide, the number of international passengers decreased by 91%. Norse Atlantic Airways had a busy few weeks before operations began at the start of operations.
