Delta is boosting its global footprint with the launch of its first-ever nonstop service from Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) to Seoul-Incheon International Airport (ICN) on June 12, 2025. This route—the only direct flight linking Salt Lake City to Asia—will provide seamless connections to key destinations across Asia for travelers throughout the Mountain West and Southwest U.S. regions. Customers will enjoy Delta’s state-of-the-art Airbus A350, along with modern amenities at SLC’s recently upgraded terminal and the expansive Delta Sky Club, ensuring a smooth and comfortable trans-Pacific journey. 

Delta’s leading position at Salt Lake City 

As Delta’s fifth direct U.S. route to Seoul, the new SLC-ICN flight joins Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Seattle in connecting U.S. travelers to Asia. With this addition, Delta—together with partner Korean Air—offers access to Seoul from 14 U.S. gateways, providing the most extensive reach across Asia through the ICN hub compared to any other trans-Pacific joint venture. This route also further solidifies Delta’s position as the largest long-haul foreign carrier at Incheon, enhancing its already unmatched reach across Asia.  

This historic route solidifies Delta’s leadership in Salt Lake City, where it operates more flights than all other carriers combined. Delta’s robust presence includes nearly 250 peak-day departures to more than 90 destinations worldwide, featuring nonstop service to other international cities like Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Mexico City, among others.  

Delta’s strong presence at SLC is further bolstered by ongoing investments in the airport’s infrastructure. In 2020, Delta celebrated the opening of the 900,000-square-foot Concourse A, featuring 50 Delta gates and 19 new restaurants and shops. By 2027, the airline will add even more gates, ensuring the hub remains a premier domestic and international gateway. 
 
Travelers passing through Salt Lake City can also indulge in Delta’s world-class amenities, including the 28,000-square-foot Delta Sky Club. Offering panoramic mountain views from the Sky Deck and a 360-degree fireplace, the lounge provides a relaxing haven for customers before they embark on their journey to Seoul. 

World-class comfort to Seoul 

The daily, year-round service to Seoul will be operated on Delta’s state-of-the-art Airbus A350-900 offering the latest in premium travel with Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabin experiences. Travelers can expect Delta’s renowned service and a uniquely premium onboard experience as they travel across the Pacific.

Delta One customers will enjoy a luxury experience with lie-flat seating, premium bedding, expanded beverage options, and a seasonal chef-curated four-course meal. As part of Delta’s new collaboration with Italian fashion house Missoni, Delta One passengers will receive exclusive amenity kits featuring luxury details that elevate their inflight experience.

For customers in Delta Premium Select, wider seats, deeper recline, and elevated service create a more spacious and relaxing journey. Across all cabins, passengers can enjoy a curated food and beverage experience along with access to over 1,000 hours of entertainment via Delta Studio.

Delta is also expanding its fast, free Wi-Fi presented by T-Mobile. Already available on 90% of domestic flights, Delta is rolling out high-speed, streaming-quality Wi-Fi to long-haul international routes. The entire global fleet is expected to offer free Wi-Fi by the end of next year, making it easier than ever for SkyMiles Members to stay connected during their travels.
