Posted by Jin Air, a Korean low cost airline, based in Seoul-Incheon International Airport has announced that the airline is looking to serve Eastern Europe by 2019.
Croatia, being popular for the Korean tourists, will be connected via Zagreb as well as Budapest of Hungary, Bucharest of Romania and Belgrade of Serbia.
