Airlines serving Kitakyushu Airport have announced additional international flights around the 2027 Lunar New Year holiday. StarFlyer will increase its Taipei service from three round trips a week to daily flights from Jan. 21 through Feb. 10. The airline resumed the route in September after a six-and-a-half-year suspension. Jin Air will double its Seoul service from one to two round trips daily between Feb. 1 and March 1. Kitakyushu officials hope the additional visitors will increase local spending and say they will continue working to expand international services. Source: NHK News / RKB News
