Korean Air Expands International Network
By Geoffrey Thomas Sat Oct 15, 2022
Korean Air has resumed its key European routes to Rome, Barcelona, Milan, and Vienna after being suspended in March 2020 due to the pandemic.
The airline is operating to Rome three times a week on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and to Barcelona on Monday, Wednesday and Friday.
“We are excited to welcome passengers back to Rome and Barcelona after two and a half years. The European market is recovering faster than expected, and we are seeing a strong comeback in travel demand. We have recently resumed our Milan and Vienna routes and increased capacity on other routes. We will continue to closely monitor market trends and reinstate our remaining network accordingly as we work towards full recovery,” said Mr Jumin Kim, General Manager and Director of the Western Europe Regional Office of Korean Air.
Korean Air also launched its inaugural flight to Budapest, on October 3 with a once-weekly 269-seat Boeing 787-900, increasing two twice a week from October 31.
Also this month Korean Air resumed its routes to the United Arab Emirates and Thailand.
Dubai is now being served three times a week and Phuket four times a week.
Korean Air is also reinstating flights to Chiang Mai with a Boeing 737-800. The airline will offer four flights a week - every Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.
Korean Air says it will continue to closely monitor the market and return of demand, and reinstate remaining suspended routes accordingly.
