Eastar Jet is a South Korean low-cost airline that operated scheduled and charter flights. It offered affordable air travel options to domestic and international destinations, focusing on routes within Asia. However, Eastar Jet had suspended its operations due to financial difficulties.
2007 – now
Throughout its history, the company has had only one logo, which is ideal for both domestic and international flights, as the logo contains the company’s name in English and Korean. The English name is big, bold, and is made in red color; between the letters “R” and “J” there is a small star (as the name of the company suggests). The grey Korean lettering is much thinner and is located under the English one.
