Starting from September 11, Korean Air will operate direct flights between Incheon and Lisbon three times a week. Flight KE921 departs from Incheon every Wednesday, Friday, and Sunday at 1:10 pm, and arrives in Lisbon at 8:10 pm local time. The return flight, KE922, departs from Lisbon at 10:10 pm on the same day and arrives in Incheon the following day at 7:10 pm. The flight durations are 15 hours and 10 minutes for flight KE921 and 13 hours for KE922.

Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, is located at the mouth of the Tejo River on the Iberian Peninsula. Known for its Manueline architecture, including the Jerónimos Monastery and Belém Tower, and its iconic yellow trams, the city is a haven of UNESCO World Heritage Sites offering a rich blend of culture, history and romance. Lisbon is a popular destination for both backpackers and honeymooners.
Previously, travelers heading to Portugal with Korean Air had to transfer in neighboring countries such as France or Spain. However, the new direct flight to Lisbon offers significantly greater convenience for travelers, making it easier to explore Lisbon and nearby regions. With this new service, Korean Air aims to strengthen its presence in the European market.
