The company launched its Incheon-LA route on October 29 last year, marking the first time in 31 years that a Korean carrier operated this route. It then launched the Incheon-New York route in May this year and currently operates two Americas routes with 10 weekly flights. Starting December 31, it will begin irregular weekly flights four times a week to Hawaii (Honolulu).
