S. Korea expands China routes, gives more flight rights to LCCs

South Korea's transport ministry announced on Wednesday an expansion of flight routes to China, granting additional flight rights to domestic low-cost carriers (LCCs). The decision aims to increase air travel capacity and connectivity between the two nations.

By distributing these rights to budget airlines, the ministry intends to diversify travel options and potentially lower costs for passengers. This move reflects a strategic effort to bolster regional aviation services and accommodate growing demand for travel between South Korea and China.
