Parata Air will operate a scheduled route between Yangyang International Airport and Shanghai Pudong Airport from December, flying twice a week on Mondays and Fridays, the airline said on October 6. The exact start date will be confirmed this month in consultation with related agencies, according to Yonhap. A business outlet also reported that a direct Shanghai link from Yangyang Airport is opening. [ 1 , 2 ]
The launch would restart international scheduled service at Yangyang Airport after a long suspension, Yonhap reported. Parata Air began operating the Yangyang–Jeju route in September last year, resuming domestic scheduled service at the airport, and the Shanghai route would extend its operations there to international flights, the report said. [ 2 ]
Yonhap described Shanghai as a major economic and tourism centre in China with active exchanges with Korea. It said the direct Yangyang–Shanghai link is expected to make overseas travel easier for Gangwon residents and to improve Chinese tourists' access to the region, and that more Chinese visitors to Seoraksan, Sokcho, Yangyang and Gangneung could support local tourism, accommodation and spending.

A Parata Air official said expanding the airport's flights from the Yangyang–Jeju route to an international route is significant, adding that the Shanghai service should give Gangwon residents a convenient overseas travel option and offer foreign tourists a gateway to Gangwon, according to Yonhap. The airline said it will work with Gangwon Province and the regional tourism industry to link passengers to local tourism demand and to support the airport and the regional economy. [ 2 ]
The business outlet's readable page text dealt mainly with other Parata Air items, including a planned November Incheon–Shenzhen service and Vietnam routes; those concern other routes and are not part of this event. [ 1 ]

The route would restore international scheduled flights at a regional airport in Gangwon Province and, according to Yonhap, is expected to improve travel options for Gangwon residents and access for Chinese tourists to east coast destinations. The airline says it will work with Gangwon Province and the local tourism industry to connect passengers with regional tourism demand, so the effect is framed mainly around local tourism and the regional economy.
