Jeju Air transports 10m passengers a year
Jeju Air transported over 10m passengers in a year for the first time in its 11-year history, the nation's leading budget carrier said Thursday. The airliner, which began operations in June 2006, has become the country's only low-cost carrier reaching the milestone of 10m annual passengers. Full-service airliners, such as Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, were the only airline two companies to reach that record up to now. The cumulative number of passengers of the air carrier was 48 million as of Dec. 18. That number has grown rapidly, surpassing 10m in May 2012, 20m in July 2014, 30m in January 2016 and 40mi in February this year. This means that the figure has grown 40 times in a decade. The annual growth rate has been 40% on average over the past 11 years.<br/>
