Eastar Jet resumed the Seoul – Sapporo route on July 1, 2024, after an approximately four-year break caused by the pandemic. Until late 2019, the airline also connected the city in Hokkaido with Busan and Cheongju. Outside Sapporo, Eastar Jet currently flies between Seoul and Tokyo Narita, Osaka Kansai, Fukuoka, and Naha (resumed on July 19, 2024). The airline also plans to start flying to Tokushima.
On the Sapporo route, it competes with half a dozen other South Korean airlines including Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Air Busan, Jeju Air, Jin Air, and T’Way.
