Under the leadership of CEO Yoo Myung-sub and COO Moon Bo-kook, Air Premia has capitalized on its strategic use of Newark Liberty International Airport, offering more convenient access to Manhattan compared to the John F.

Demographic insight revealed that 57% of passengers were female and 43% were male. The route appeals most strongly to younger travelers, with 22.6 in their 20s, followed by 19.3% in their 60s and above, and 19% in their 30s. Additionally, 15% were in their 50s, 12.7% in their 40s, and 11.4% were under 19 years old. In line with the characteristics of the route, where many family members and acquaintances visit, it was found that New Yorkers also used Air Premia often. Round-trip passengers departing from New York accounted for nearly half (49.1%), while those departing from Korea accounted for 50.9%.

To commemorate this achievement, Air Premia hosted a special event at the New York Country Club on May 22. The event was attended by around 80 people, including local political and business leaders, media and travel agents. Expressing his confidence in Air Premia's promising future, Branch Manager Choi Hyeon-chul said, "The first anniversary of the New York route is a growth engine for the company and the creation of new value for customers and the market. We are deeply grateful to our customers and the local community for their support and trust in Air Premia. In return, we are committed to delivering unparalleled customer satisfaction and continued innovation in value creation."
