Hi Air Co., Ltd (Korean: 하이에어), operating as Hi Air, was a regional airline in South Korea that was founded in 2017 and began operations in December 2019.
The airline's first route started was between Ulsan and Seoul.[1] In June 2020, it purchased two ATR 72-500 aircraft from ATR in order to expand its network with five new routes, despite the global slump in air travel caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.[2] The airline suspended all flights on 31 August 2023. However, in February 2025, the Seoul Bankruptcy Court appproved the rehabilitation plan of Hi Air, preparing for relaunch.[3]
