Eastar Jet (IATA: ZE), founded on October 26, 2007, and commencing operations in January 2009, is a prominent South Korean low-cost carrier headquartered in Seoul's Gangseo-gu district. Starting with domestic routes like Seoul to Jeju, it rapidly expanded internationally to destinations such as Kuching, Malaysia, by late 2009. The airline joined the U-FLY Alliance in 2016 but has since operated independently.
Facing severe challenges during the COVID-19 pandemic, Eastar Jet suspended flights in 2020 amid financial restructuring, slashing its fleet from 16 to 4 aircraft. Acquired by Sung Jung in 2021 and later VIG Partners in 2023, it staged a remarkable comeback, resuming operations that year with expanded capacity. By end-2023, its all-Boeing 737 fleet grew to 10 aircraft, reaching 20 by late 2025—half comprising brand-new Boeing 737 MAX 8s alongside 737-800s.
Key Hubs and Network: Primarily operating from Seoul Gimpo (GMP) and Busan Gimhae (PUS), Eastar Jet serves 19 destinations across Asia, including Fukuoka, Bangkok, Da Nang, and Almaty. Domestic Jeju flights remain a staple, complemented by affordable international short-haul routes.
What Sets It Apart: Certified as a 3-Star Low-Cost Airline by Skytrax, Eastar Jet emphasizes fleet modernization (average age ~8.6 years), competitive pricing, and reliable service post-recovery. With plans for Boeing 787 widebodies by 2027, it's positioning for long-haul growth. Passenger reviews highlight decent seat comfort for an LCC but note limited amenities like no Wi-Fi and buy-on-board meals. Ideal for budget travelers seeking value on Korea-Asia hops.
