Air Seoul to Launch Incheon~Qingdao Route on 20th... Direct Flights from Seoul Resume

Yantai Announces Second New Route Since COVID-19

[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Air Seoul announced on the 19th that it will launch a new route between Incheon and Qingdao, China, on the 20th. This marks the resumption of the Incheon (Seoul) to Qingdao route, which had been suspended.

Air Seoul's Incheon-Qingdao route will operate once a week (Tuesdays). This is the second time Air Seoul has launched a new international route since the COVID-19 pandemic, following the earlier Incheon-Yantai route.

Air Seoul stated, "The Incheon-Qingdao route was completely suspended after the spread of COVID-19 earlier this year, but as business exchanges between Korea and China have steadily increased recently, we are the first national carrier to resume operations on this route. Neither the Yantai nor Qingdao routes were operated before COVID-19, but we decided to launch them newly with the goal of securing business demand."

Meanwhile, in addition to this regular flight, Air Seoul plans to operate a charter flight on the 22nd in cooperation with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to facilitate the movement of Korean residents. Tickets can be booked on the Air Seoul website.
