Ryan Park, Manager, Strategy Planning Team, Strategy & Finance Division, Air Premia

At the Low Cost Carriers Development (China) Forum 2025, organised by Wernosa and held in Shanghai on June 26–27, Mr. Ryan Park박걸, Manager of the Strategy Planning Team atAir Premia, shared the airline’s unique “hybrid” business model that bridges the gap between full-service and low-cost carriers — delivering premium comfort with essential services at affordable fares.

Ryan highlighted Air Premia’s innovative positioning and market progress:
1️⃣ Hybrid Model for Long-Haul Efficiency – Operating an all–B787-9 Dreamliner fleet with a 2-class configuration (Premium Economy & Economy), Air Premia provides business-class comfort at just 50% of full-service carrier fares, and economy options at 80–90% of traditional economy prices.

2️⃣ Comfort Meets Sustainability – The Dreamliner offers a 60% noise reduction, 20% better fuel efficiency, and 20% lower CO₂ emissions, ensuring a quieter, greener, and more comfortable flying experience for long-haul travelers.

3️⃣ Rapid Global Expansion – Since its founding in 2017, Air Premia has expanded rapidly, now serving destinations including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Frankfurt, Singapore, Bangkok, Da Nang, and Hong Kong, with 8 Dreamliners in operation by mid-2025 and new routes to Honolulu launching soon.

4️⃣ Strengthening the US Market Presence – With 26 weekly flights across four US cities, Air Premia is positioned to take over significant trans-Pacific market share, capitalizing on Aoziana’s slot transfers and new interline partnerships such as with Alaska Airlines.

5️⃣ Connecting China and Beyond – Ryan emphasized plans for direct services from Mainland China (pending traffic rights) and potential code-share or interline partnerships with Chinese carriers, as Air Premia moves toward joining TravelSky and expanding its regional network.

Ryan’s message was clear: Air Premia redefines long-haul travel by offering “premium service at smart value,” blending comfort, efficiency, and sustainability to meet the evolving needs of modern travelers.
