- Interline cooperation launched with Star Alliance member Thai Airways
- Expands connectivity via Bangkok hub across Southeast Asia and India, targeting transit demand to the Americas
SEOUL, South Korea, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Air Premia, Korea's only hybrid service carrier, announced that it has entered an interline partnership with Thailand's national flag carrier, Thai Airways, with joint transportation services set to commence on March 30.
Through this collaboration, Air Premia aims to capture transit demand from Southeast Asia and India traveling to the Americas via Incheon, while Thai Airways will be able to expand its network into the U.S. market through Air Premia's long-haul routes from Incheon. Currently, there are no direct flights connecting Thailand and the United States.
Under the agreement, the two airlines will offer joint ticketing. Passengers will benefit from seamless travel across both carriers' networks with a single booking, enabling convenient access to a wider range of destinations.
Air Premia currently operates long-haul routes from Incheon to major U.S. destinations, including Los Angeles, New York, San Francisco, Honolulu, and Washington, D.C. (planned), as well as regional routes across Asia, including Narita, Bangkok, Da Nang, and Hong Kong.
Thai Airways, the largest full-service carrier in Thailand, operates eight domestic routes and 54 international routes across Asia, Europe, and Oceania from its hub at Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi Airport. It is also a founding member of the Star Alliance, the world's largest airline alliance.
Through this interline partnership, Air Premia's Americas routes will be connected to Thai Airways' extensive network, including key domestic destinations in Thailand such as Phuket and Chiang Mai, as well as major cities across Southeast Asia—including Kuala Lumpur, Singapore, Jakarta, and Hanoi—and India, including New Delhi, Mumbai, and Chennai.
On the Incheon–Bangkok route, both airlines operate services, with Thai Airways offering three daily flights. This increased frequency is expected to provide greater flexibility and more options for passengers, further supporting the growth of transit demand to the Americas.
"Through this interline partnership with Thai Airways, a Star Alliance member, we expect to expand transit demand from Southeast Asia and India to the Americas," said an Air Premia official. "We will continue to broaden travel options for our customers by strengthening cooperation with various airline partners."

GUANGZHOU, China, March 26, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Set to open soon on April 15 in Guangzhou, the 139th Canton Fair is launching a host of intelligent upgrades that will transform the buyer experience, making every step of the sourcing trip smoother, more convenient and more efficient than ever before.
1. Next-Level "ASKME" AI Assistant
The Fair's intelligent assistant, "ASKME," has been fully upgraded. Think of it as a 24/7 personal assistant. Whether you need to find the right exhibitor, book a hotel, or map out your daily schedule, ASKME now delivers end-to-end support, seamlessly connecting you from the planning stage all the way to your on-the-ground experience.
2. Pinpoint Navigation Across the Complex
Getting around is now effortless. An upgraded booth-level navigation system covers 25 exhibition halls and public zones, offering turn-by-turn guidance directly to your target booth or any of the thousands of service points. It's designed to save precious time, letting buyers focus on sealing deals rather than searching for them.
3. A Smarter Way to Dine
Catering has gone digital with a seamless closed-loop system. Buyers can now order meals online from anywhere in the complex and have them delivered quickly — no need to leave the hall. It's a fast, convenient way to enjoy a variety of cuisines without long queues, maximizing your time on the floor.
4. Smarter Shuttles for Convenient Movement
Getting between halls is now smarter. Real-time tracking for the complex's electric shuttle fleet is available right on your phone. Buyers can check live routes and wait times, allowing them to plan inter-hall travel with ease, beat the crowds, and move efficiently during peak hours.
These cutting-edge upgrades are more than just service enhancements — they signal the Canton Fair's strategic evolution from a traditional trade show into a digitally-empowered global platform. For buyers, this boost in efficiency isn't just a nice-to-have; it's a tangible asset, every bit as valuable as the business deals made on the floor.
