Korean AirKorean Air is expanding its China and Japan networks to meet the recovering travel demand in the region. The airline is resuming several routes to China and Japan, as well as increasing frequencies on other popular routes.
The airline will resume its Seoul Incheon-Mudanjiang and Busan-Qingdao services on October 22 and December 1, respectively, following a four-year hiatus due to the pandemic. The Seoul Incheon-Mudanjiang route will operate five times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and the Busan-Qingdao route will operate daily.

Starting from October 27, the airline will relaunch its Seoul Incheon-Nagasaki route for the winter season after a break of more than 11 years. This route will operate four times weekly on Mondays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, opening up new travel opportunities to the historic Japanese city.
The Seoul Incheon-Osaka route will also see a temporary increase in service. From September 2 to October 26, the airline will operate four daily flights, up from the existing three daily flights. This enhancement will accommodate the anticipated surge in autumn travel to this popular Japanese destination.
As of December 2024, services to China will reach 95% of December 2019 capacity, and services to Japan will achieve 106% of pre-pandemic capacity.
Korean Air will continue to offer schedules that align with evolving customer needs. The strategic network adjustments underscore the airline’s commitment to enhancing travel experience and reinforcing its position as a market leader in the region.
