The American carrier Delta Airlines has recently announced that all nonstop services between the US and South Korea will resume very soon.
Delta just informed that starting on October 2, they will operate from two of its global hubs, between Minneapolis/St. Paul International Airport (MSP) and Seoul-Incheon International Airport (ICN).
Initially, the carrier will serve three flights per week and increase the frequency to daily services a few weeks later, on October 29. The carrier will also resume operations in Seoul, Korea, from Seattle on July 12, and services from Atlanta and Detroit to Seoul will increase to daily services starting on August 2.
By resuming these services, Delta would have restored its connection to Korea to its pre-pandemic levels in 2019. Great news for those interested in visiting this country that had been restricting tourism during the pandemic, and opened frontiers a few months ago when South Korea reopened for tourism.
Matteo Curcio, Delta’s V.P. for Asia Pacific, said: “As travel restrictions ease, international and business travel is expected to drive the next leg of Delta’s recovery.” And added: “Recent demand has been strong in Asian markets, particularly in Korea, as they have rolled back COVID-era travel restrictions. Full restoration of the airline’s Korean network is a positive indicator of what’s to come for the rest of the Asia region.”
For these long-haul services, travelers will also be able to enjoy Delta’s new menu options and even try the new plant-based meals like impossible burgers and lamb meatballs made with vegan products.
