Air Premia's new route appears to be driven by Bangladeshi workers in South Korea, the wider diaspora and big freight demand. According to reports, the Seoul-Dhaka point-to-point market had approximately 43,000 roundtrip passengers in 2019, more or less the same size as Shanghai (Pudong and Hongqiao combined).

Besides Dhaka, Air Premia also flies to Los Angeles, Bangkok, Tokyo Narita, Frankfurt, Newark, Ho Chi Minh City, Barcelona, Oslo and others.

It may be mentioned here that Air Premia is a low-cost carrier based in Seoul, South Korea with a fleet of only Boeing 787-900s.
