South Korea had arranged two chartered cargo flights to help businesses send or receive to and from Jakarta, Indonesia, and Chongquig, China.
The roundtrip cargo flight to Chongqing, operated by Asiana Airlines, carried export products and will bring back imported goods for 10 local trading firms, who were charged 75 percent of the ordinary freight fee.
It left Incheon International Airport at 8:35 a.m.
Meanwhile, the one-way cargo flight to Jakarta, operated by Korean Air Lines, will be carrying export products including air purifiers, textiles, protective suits, and test kits of eight domestic companies, who would be charged lower.
The routes to these two cities have been disrupted due to the coronavirus outbreak.
The trips were jointly prepared by the Korea International Trade Association and Ministry of Trade, Industry and Energy.
According to Industry Minister Sung Yun-mo, the emergency freight services, which utilized using idle passenger planes, were made possible by the cooperation of private export support groups, export and logistics companies, and the government.
