Jin Air to resume flights on 5 international routes next month

Low-cost carrier Jin Air said Tuesday it will resume flights on five international routes next month to cater to incoming passengers and meet cargo-carrying demand. Jin Air plans to restart flight services on routes from Incheon to Bangkok, Taipei, Narita, Osaka and Vietnam on June 1, to bring overseas Koreans, those studying abroad and businessmen to the country, the company said. The company said it will operate one to two flights a week to the five cities from June to also meet cargo-carrying orders, it said. Jin Air has suspended all of its international flights since April, as countries strengthened entry restrictions on incoming passengers to stem the spread of the new coronavirus. But seven domestic routes have been in service despite the virus outbreak. It offered flights on 32 international routes to cities that include Guam, Hawaii, Shanghai and Hong Kong before the COVID-19 pandemic hit the airline industry.<br/>
