Air Busan, which launched daily roundtrip flight service between Busan, South Korea, and Fukuoka City in March, announced a flight occupancy rate of 83% for the month of November. This is the highest monthly rate their service has enjoyed. The rate from May to September ranged from the 60th to the 70th percentile, but the airline benefited from the higher yen and lower won starting in October. The increase has come primarily from Japanese passengers.
