Air Busan is a South Korean low-cost carrier headquartered in Busan that was founded in 2010 as a subsidiary of Asiana Airlines. The airline operates primarily on domestic routes within South Korea as well as regional international flights to destinations across Asia, including Japan, China, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia, with its main hub at Gimhae International Airport in Busan. As a low-cost carrier, Air Busan offers a single economy cabin configuration with a no-frills service model, though passengers can purchase add-on services such as seat selection and extra baggage allowance. The airline is not part of any of the major global airline alliances but maintains close ties to its parent company Asiana, which is a member of Star Alliance. Air Busan's frequent flyer program, Smartium Miles, allows passengers to accumulate points on flights and partner services. Operating as a regional carrier, Air Busan serves as an important budget alternative in the Northeast Asian aviation market and plays a significant role in connecting Busan and surrounding regions to both domestic and nearby international destinations.
