Air Premia, Inc. (Korean: 에어프레미아㈜; RR: eeo peule mia jusik hoesa) is a South Korean airline based in Seoul. It describes itself as a "hybrid airline", providing a higher level of service than low-cost airlines while having lower operating costs than larger, full-service airlines. The airline was founded in 2017 by the former president of Jeju Air, Kim Jong-chul.^[2]

Air Premia was established on July 27, 2017, by the ex-president of Jeju Air, Kim Jong-chul.^[2] In April 2019, the airline intended to launch in 2020 and lease three Boeing 787-9s from Air Lease Corporation (ALC),^[3] but later announced that it had agreed to purchase five.^[4] The airline was initially expected to launch with regional routes within Asia, but later intended to operate long-haul routes to Australia and the United States.

In April 2021, Air Premia received its first Boeing 787-9, with plans to operate 10 aircraft by the end of 2024.^[5][6] On August 11, 2021, the airline celebrated its inauguration of flights with a domestic service between Seoul and Jeju.^[7] Domestic services ended on October 30, 2021, as the airline prepared to transition to exclusively operating international routes.^[8] These consisted of a mix of scheduled, chartered, passenger, and dedicated cargo services to destinations in Asia, Europe, and North America.

Air Premia operates two cabins and classes of service on its aircraft, consisting of a premium economy cabin (branded as Premia 42) consisting of 56 seats in a 2–3–2 layout, and an economy class cabin (branded as Economy 35) consisting of seats in a 3–3–3 layout, with the numbers in the branding reflecting their respective seat pitch.^[33] In contrast to low-cost carriers, Air Premia includes various services complimentary rather than imposing additional fees for them, such as baggage allowances, in-flight catering, and in-flight entertainment. However, the airline still provides some buy-on-board services, such as for duty-free sales and Wi-Fi access.
