Starting February 19, Emirates will be ramping up its operations in Seoul with three additional weekly flights to the South Korean capital city. The additional services will increase the capacity on Emirates flights between Dubai and Seoul by more than 1,000 additional seats per week.
Operated through a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, EK324 and EK325 will fly on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. EK324 will depart Dubai at 0445 UAE time and will have a flying time of approximately 8 hours and 20 minutes. It will land at Seoul’s Incheon International Airport at 1805 local time.
The return flight EK325 will depart Seoul at 2200 local time, arriving in Dubai at 0315hrs the following day.
Emirates launched services to Seoul in 2005 and currently operates a daily service from Dubai. EK322, an Airbus A380 service, departs Dubai every morning at 0330. EK323 leaves from Incheon at 2340.
With the additional services, the airline will be able to guarantee more flexibility and choice for its customers to and from Dubai, as well as beyond to its global network of over 130 destinations.
Emirates said the new service will “help alleviate the suppressed demand for international travel to one of the most popular East Asian destinations and support South Korea’s inbound and outbound tourism”.
Through the three weekly flights, Emirates will also provide 45 tonnes of additional cargo capacity between the two cities, boosting the trade and economic ties between South Korea and the UAE.
