Delta will launch daily nonstop flights between Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Seoul Incheon International Airport next June. The new route, operating with a 291-seat Boeing 777-200LR aircraft, will bring options and convenience to business travellers flying to the East Coast of America.

In addition to the new Atlanta-Incheon service, Delta and Korean Air will expand their codeshare partnership, providing customers with greater access to destinations throughout Asia and America.

“Incheon International Airport is one of the premier gateways to Asia and the strength of our combined hubs and flight offerings gives customers a significantly enhanced portfolio of destinations for travel,” says Steve Sear, Delta’s president – international & executive vice president – global sales.

Delta’s new Atlanta flight complements Korean Air’s existing service, providing customers in the Southeast U.S. with greater access to destinations across Asia. Combined, Delta and Korean will offer round-trip connectivity to 142 destinations in the Americas and 33 destinations across Asia between their joint Atlanta-Seoul schedules.

“Our expanded partnership with Delta allows our customers to travel more conveniently with more options between Asia and the Americas, strengthening our position as the world’s largest trans-Pacific airline,” says Walter Cho, Korean Air’s COO. “Travelers will benefit from the combined network strength of Korean Air and Delta resulting in greater schedule flexibility and increased frequency.” www.delta.com/
