The Gimpo-Haneda route connecting Seoul and Tokyo will operate daily starting from the 25th.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 19th that the frequency of flights on the Gimpo-Haneda route will be increased from the current 8 times per week to 28 times per week.

This increase in flights is a follow-up measure after the resumption of the Gimpo-Haneda route on the 29th of last month, decided based on an agreement between the governments of Korea and Japan.

The Gimpo-Haneda route, which had been suspended since March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, resumed operations last month on the 29th after 2 years and 3 months.

President Yoon Suk-yeol emphasized the need to resume the Gimpo-Haneda route to revitalize exchanges between Korea and Japan immediately after his inauguration, leading to the resumption of flights.

Currently, Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Japan Airlines, and All Nippon Airways each operate twice a week, totaling 8 round-trip flights per week on the Gimpo-Haneda route.

With the agreement between the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to operate 28 flights per week starting from the 25th, each airline will be able to operate one round-trip flight daily.

Korean Air flights will depart daily from Gimpo Airport at 9:00 AM, arriving at Haneda Airport at 11:10 AM, and depart from Haneda Airport at 12:25 PM, arriving at Gimpo Airport at 2:45 PM starting from the 25th.

Asiana Airlines will depart daily from Gimpo Airport at 8:40 AM, arriving at Haneda Airport at 10:45 AM, and depart from Haneda Airport at 12:05 PM, arriving at Gimpo Airport at 2:25 PM.

The Ministry plans to continue consultations with Japan’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism to further expand international flight operations between Korea and Japan, including additional increases in the frequency of Gimpo-Haneda flights in the future.

Kim Heon-jeong, Director of Aviation Policy at the Ministry, said, "The Gimpo-Haneda route has excellent accessibility and high demand. We expect that the range of flight options for citizens and businesspeople visiting Japan via Haneda Airport will expand."
