(CHEONGJU = Newsis) Reporter Yeon Hyeon-chul — Aero K Airlines is expanding its Philippines routes from its hub at Cheongju International Airport in North Chungcheong Province.

According to the aviation industry on August 19, Aero K is reviewing plans to launch non-scheduled flights between Cheongju and Manila in November. Discussions are underway to operate the route four times a week from November 19 to March 27 next year.

Under the proposed schedule, outbound flights will depart Cheongju Airport late at night and arrive in Manila early the following morning, while inbound flights will leave Manila early in the morning and arrive at Cheongju Airport before noon.

Aero K has already secured flight slots at Cheongju Airport and is currently coordinating slot allocations at Manila Airport. The final operational decision is expected around mid-next month.

Additionally, at the "Korea Travel Fiesta 2026" to be held in Manila on August 22 and 23, the airline plans to introduce and sell winter Korea travel packages utilizing its Cheongju–Clark route.

"Through preparations for the Manila route and participation in the local travel fair, we will expand our touchpoints with Filipino consumers," an Aero K official said. "Starting with Clark and extending to Manila, we will step up our push into the Philippine market."
