Air Pohang (Korean: 에어포항) was a South Korean domestic low-cost airline that launched operations in February 2018. As indicated by its name, the company focused on serving residents of Pohang, a city on the southeastern coast of the peninsula, as well as the rest of North Gyeongsang Province.[3] As of February 2018, the airline flew to two destinations from its base at Pohang Airport using three CRJ-200 aircraft. The airline ceased all operations on 29 November 2018.[4]
Air Pohang was founded by the company Dong-Hwa Electronics, which made an initial investment of 10 billion won. The airline commenced operations on 7 February 2018, with a flight from Gimpo Airport in Seoul to Pohang Airport.[5] It thus became the seventh low-cost carrier based in South Korea.[6]
