Korean budget airlines, including T'way Air,  see huge profit jump in Q1 2018

Budget airlines in Korea have seen a substantial year-on-year rise in profit in the Q1 2018. Their combined profit has more than doubled when compared to the same time frame in 2017.

The figures are taken from the collective operating profits of Korea's six low-cost carriers — one of which is Eastar Jet — and show that numbers increased by 131% to bring in 186.1 billion won. Additionally, revenue was at 1.18 trillion won, meaning that the total revenue grew by 34.2%. The other five low-cost Korean carriers include Jeju Air, JinAir, T'way Air, Air Busan, and Air Seoul.

The boost in numbers could be due to the fast-growing demand for international and domestic flights within Korea and the rest of the world.

South Korea's Low Cost Carriers achieve huge increase in profit! 

The main budget carriers in South Korea have reported a combined revenue of 278.8 billion won, ($257.9 million) in 2017, up twofold from the year before. This impressive figure was achieved by the diversifying of Low Cost Carrier (LCC) routes and extending the breadth of their markets. Easter Jet, along with Jeju Air, Jin Air and others have increased their sales by 35% year-on-year. Operating income has surged by a whopping 92.7%. This has come despite a loss in China traffic due to diplomatic tension in the region. Of the six largest budget airlines, Jeju Air's earnings topped 101 billion won, with its sales reported at 996.3 billion won. The operating profit marks the first time that a budget carrier exceeded the 100 billion-won mark. Eastar Jet saw gains in sales and operating profit in 2017 and the numbers for Jin Air and T'way advanced at a sharp pace, with the latter escaping from a state of capital impairment last year.. 

Related to last year's market developments, a transport ministry official said there will be even greater competition to attract travelers this year, with local LCCs moving to acquire more passenger jets and generally engaging in aggressive marketing efforts. "Every effort will be made to reduce any fallouts from stiffer competition, with companies to be encouraged to expand flights and offer more services to customers," he said.

Jeju Air and T'way Air have announced plans to establish their own separate groundhandling companies. 
According to The Korea Herald, Jeju Air has signed an agreement to buy Dongbo Airport Service Co., one of Korea's largest groundhandling firms, for an undisclosed sum. Following the deal's completion, Dongbo will begin servicing Jeju Air as early as this year.

“As Jeju Air’s fleet and flights continue to expand, the need for stable support services has become more important,” an official with Jeju Air told the paper.
Meanwhile, T’way Air has begun the process of establishing its own groundhandling firm, tentatively named T’way Air Service. The report states that recruitment has already begun ahead of a proposed mid-December start of services. The move will also remove the carrier's reliance on Dongbo given its acquisition by rival Jeju Air.

“T’way will be able to independently supervise passenger services at airports, providing more stability to support staff while also improving service quality,” the company said. 
Other Korean carriers that have their own groundhandling operations include Asiana Airlines, Korean Air, and Eastar Jet.
