Air Busan said it will jointly run flights between Busan and Tokyo with Asiana Airlines. Air Busan currently operates daily flights, with an occupancy rate of more than 80 percent, the carrier said. Those who prefer a lower priced flight can choose Air Busan and those who want to accumulate mileage can choose Asiana Airlines. The two local airlines run two other routes together: Busan-Fukuoka and Busan-Osaka, Air Busan said.
