SEOUL -- Although South Korea's airline industry is staging a measurable comeback in passenger traffic, the recovery has failed to benefit the country's low-cost carriers, forcing them to seek other revenue streams to survive.
In this third year into the pandemic, many South Koreans have spent the summer travel season flying overseas. Passengers on international flights in July multiplied 6.3 times from a year earlier to 1.84 million, according to government data.
