Korean airlines show signs of recovery as more Koreans now turn to domestic destinations amid the coronavirus epidemic.

Some 4.19 million passengers have traveled on domestic routes at some 14 airports nationwide so far this month, the Korea Airports Corporation said Monday.

The occupancy rate of domestic flight routes has reached some 91.5 percent, almost returning to the pre-epidemic level, KAC said.
