All Nippon Airways (ANA) and Air Incheon have established a codeshare for freighter services between Japan and South Korea, effective September 15, 2025. Through this agreement, both airlines will share cargo space on their flights, improving connectivity and addressing the increasing demand for cargo transport.
Air Incheon, which finalized its integration with Asiana Airlines’ freighter operations on August 1, 2025, is set to rebrand as AIRZETA, pending regulatory approval. This move positions it as the second-largest cargo airline in South Korea.
