Emirates Increases Seoul Operations to 10 Weekly Flights

Emirates, the world’s largest international airline, has announced its plans to enhance its commitment to South Korea by adding three more weekly flights to Seoul, starting from February 19, 2024.

The new flights, operating as EK324/EK325 on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, will be serviced by a Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. The outbound flight, EK324, will depart from Dubai at 0445hrs, landing in Seoul Incheon International Airport at 1805hrs. The return leg, EK325, will take off from Seoul at 2200hrs, arriving in Dubai at 0315hrs the following day.

With these additional services, Emirates aims to increase the capacity on flights between Dubai and Seoul by over 1,000 seats per week. This move aims to meet the growing demand for international travel to Seoul, supporting South Korea’s inbound and outbound tourism. The increased operations also align with the robust bilateral relations between the UAE and South Korea.

Emirates’ expanded services will not only benefit passengers but will also provide an additional 45 tonnes of cargo capacity each week, facilitating trade and economic ties between the two countries. The enhanced connectivity will contribute to Korea’s economy by providing efficient air transport for imports and exports.

Emirates has been serving Seoul since 2005, currently operating a daily Airbus A380 service from Dubai. The addition of three weekly flights will bring the total weekly flights to Seoul to 10, served by a mix of Airbus A380 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft. This diversified fleet ensures flexibility and choice for passengers traveling to and from Dubai, as well as connecting to Emirates’ extensive global network of over 130 destinations.

Passengers flying with Emirates can expect an unparalleled in-flight experience, featuring regionally inspired multi-course menus developed by award-winning chefs. The airline’s extensive entertainment system, ice, offers up to 6,500 channels of carefully curated global content, including Korean movies, TV shows, music, and more. The move to increase operations to Seoul reflects Emirates’ ongoing commitment to providing exceptional services and contributing to the growth of air travel between the UAE and South Korea.
