On March 15, 2024, StarFlyer announced it will operate 40 charter flights (20 roundtrips) including ferry flights between Kitakyushu and Muan in South Korea. The airline operated charters on the route in the past as well.
This time around, the charter flights will operate twice a week between April 9 and June 15, 2024, with the following schedule:

The airline operated charter flights on the route for the first time in September 2013 and did so again in 2014, 2017, and at the end of 2023/beginning of 2024 too. The now-defunct South Korean regional airline Hi Air operated charter flights using ATR turboprops on the route in 2023 too.
