Korean Air Adds Croatia Service

Korean Air has launched its new service between Seoul, South Korea, and Zagreb, Croatia, marking the first regular service connecting Croatia and Far East Asia directly.

The airline’s maiden flight, KE919 from Seoul, took 11 hours and 40 minutes and was welcomed with a water cannon salute upon landing at Zagreb (Franjo Tuđman) International Airport on Saturday. Korean Air commenced the three-times-weekly non-stop service between Incheon and Zagreb, utilizing Airbus A330-200 aircraft. The flight departs Incheon, Seoul at 11:00, arriving in Zagreb at 15:45. It then departs Zagreb at 17:20, arriving back in Incheon at 11:30 the next day.

The airline’s new service provides a convenient schedule for travel between Seoul and Zagreb. Those passengers arriving in Seoul and wishing to travel onwards enjoy easy connections at Incheon International Airport, with access to a wide range of destinations in Asia and Oceania for both business and leisure travel.

“We are delighted to launch our first regular service to Croatia, the fast-growing country in tourism in southeast Europe,” says Byung-Ryool Park, Korean Air’s managing vice president for Europe. “Taking this opportunity, Korean Air will support in reinforcing trade and tourism relations between Croatia and Korea.”

With the addition of the new route, Korean Air will operate international flights to 112 cities in 43 countries.
