Korean Air to Expand International Services

DALLAS — Korean Air (KE) is soaring into summer 2024 with a significant boost to its international services. Starting March 31st, the airline will relaunch flights to popular destinations in Europe, China, and Southeast Asia while increasing frequencies on key routes.

This expansion plan aims to bring KE’s international capacity to nearly pre-pandemic levels, reaching approximately 96% of its available seat kilometers (ASK) before the COVID-19 outbreak.

Returning to Beloved Destinations

Korean Air will resume regular flights to several cities that have been off-limits for some time. This will begin on April 2nd with the return of three weekly flights between Seoul Incheon (ICN) and Zurich (ZRH).

In addition, the Korean flag carrier will resume three weekly flights on the ICN to Zhangjiajie (DYG) route starting April 23rd and four weekly flights between ICN and Zhengzhou (CGO) starting April 24th.

Beach lovers can look forward to the return of daily flights on the Busan (PUS) to Bangkok (BKK) route starting April 25th. This route makes a comeback after a nearly four-year hiatus due to the pandemic.

Additional Flights on Popular Routes

Korean Air is also increasing flight frequencies on several popular routes. European flyers will benefit from an extra weekly flight on the ICN to Budapest (BUD) route, bringing the total to four weekly flights.

North American travelers won’t be left out. KE is significantly increasing service on the ICN to Dallas (DFW) route, going from four weekly flights to daily service.
