About
Jin Air is a South Korean low-cost carrier and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Korean Air. Launched in 2008, the airline has grown to become one of Korea's leading budget airlines, operating a fleet of Boeing 737-800s and 777-200ERs to domestic and international destinations across Asia-Pacific.
Headquartered in Seoul, Jin Air operates from dual hubs at Incheon International Airport (ICN) and Gimpo International Airport (GMP). The airline serves leisure destinations popular with Korean travelers, including Japan, Southeast Asia, Guam, and Hawaii. Jin Air's unique pink-and-blue livery and friendly "Jini" mascot reflect its focus on fun, affordable travel.
Unlike many low-cost carriers, Jin Air includes one checked bag in the base fare and integrates with Korean Air's SKYPASS loyalty program, allowing passengers to earn and redeem miles seamlessly. The airline carried approximately 8 million passengers annually before the pandemic and has rebuilt its network with expanded routes to Japan and Southeast Asia.
