Korean Air has made changes for the 2018 summer season and it includes an increase to its Toronto frequency.

As of March 25, increased service frequency has been announced for key long-haul routes between Korean Air’s hub at Incheon International Airport, Seoul and Europe and North America.

 

Korean Air's plans for North America 

Canada will see a boost in service from Toronto's Pearson Airport, going up from five times a week to daily.

In the U.S., flights between Incheon and Dallas, Texas will increase on March 25 from four times a week to five times a week (Mon/Wed/Thu/Sat/Sun), while Incheon-Seattle will increase from five times a week to daily as of May 1.

 

Korean Air's plans for Europe

In addition, the airline will boost frequency of some European routes, including: • Incheon-Rome: daily • Incheon-Pragu: increasing to four times a week (Mon/Wed/Fri/Sat). • Incheon-Madrid: four days a week (Tue/Thu/Sat/Sun) • Incheon-Istanbul: increasing to four times a week (Mon/Wed/Fri/Sun).

Meanwhile, starting April 19, Korean Air will resume operating its direct flight to St. Petersburg, and from April 23 to Irkutsk. These Russian routes do not operate in the winter season due to low demand.

 

What to expect

Korean Air will deploy recently introduced aircraft such as B787-9 and B747-8i on the main American and European long-haul routes, where the demand is expected to grow during the summer season.

The summer schedule will begin on the last Sunday of March, with the winter schedule commencing on the last Sunday of October. The official summer schedule for 2018 will therefore run from March 25 until Oct. 27.
