Jin Air Co., Ltd. (Korean: 진에어; RR: Jin E-eo) is a South Korean low-cost airline. As of April 2018 it operates flights to six domestic cities and 26 international destinations.[2] It launched its first long haul route, between Incheon and Honolulu, in December 2015. It has operated cargo services since November 2013.[3] Jin Air is the only widebody LCC operator in Korea.[4]

In 2018, Jin Air is South Korea’s second-largest low-cost carrier, carried 3.5 million domestic passengers, and 5.4 million international passengers, accounted for an 11% share of the domestic market and a 6% share of the international market. Jin’s domestic traffic has also been lower over the past three years because it has focused on the international market.[4]

History[]

Jin Air is headquartered in Deungchon-dong, Gangseo-gu, Seoul.[5] The name "Jin Air" was officially announced on June 15, 2008 at an opening ceremony in Seoul.[6]

Jin Air began operations in July 2008 with routes to regional destinations in South Korea.[7] The inaugural flight was between Seoul's Gimpo International Airport and Jeju International Airport on July 17, 2008 using a Boeing 737-800.[7] In December 2009, Jin Air began its first scheduled international flights to Bangkok.[8]

2017 initial public offering[]

Jin Air was the third and last company to join the Korea Exchange (KRX) by way of an initial public offering (IPO) in 2017, alongside Studio Dragon and .[citation needed]

On October 30, the KRX announced that Jin Air passed the IPO preliminary approval.[9]

Jin Air had its IPO on December 8, 2017.[10]

Boeing 777-200 groundings[]

On 20th February 2021, a Boeing 777-200 with PW4077-112 engines performing United Airlines Flight 328 suffered a fan blade failure shortly after takeoff. This was the third such incident with the 777-200 in three years and the fifth PW4000 series engine turbine blade failure in service. The FAA, CAA and Japan Civil Aviation Bureau grounded all 777-200 aircraft following advice from Boeing.

All carriers had complied with the mandatory groundings or done so voluntarily with the exception of Jin Air's four 777-200 aircraft until the FAA issued a further airworthiness directive 4 days later. [11] [12] [13] [14]
