Eastar Jet has seen surges of  Korean and Southeast Asian tourists transiting in Kota Kinabalu, the capital of Sabah in East Malaysia, for onward flights to Incheon and beyond. Therefore, it sees a potential to bring in more tourists to other Korean international gateways. Hence, Busan is introduced to the Malaysia and Southeast Asia travel markets.

Eastar Jet competes directly on the Incheon-Kota Kinabalu-Incheon route sectors with other Korean low-cost airlines Jin Air, JEJU air and Air Seoul.
