The South Korean airline Korean Air will again be flying to New York with the Airbus A380 in the future.
At the beginning of the second half of the year, another airline, Korean Air, is using the A380 to New York simpleflying. From the hub of the South Korean airline, Seoul-Incheon Airport, there are daily super jumbo flights to the US metropolis.
The super jumbo will fly to New York from July
Korean Air is one of the few airlines that has also used the Airbus A380 during the corona pandemic. Despite the planned phasing out of the superjumbo in the next 4 years, the airline will add another A380 route. In addition to the existing Seoul – Guangzhou route, the connection to New York will be established from July 1st. Pending the October winter schedule, Korean Air will fly from Seoul Incheon Airport to New York-JFK on the A380. The airline has already confirmed the averaging, but points out that short-term flight plan changes can occur at any time. This can also lead to a sudden Aircraft Change, a change in aircraft type.
[We confirm] that our A380 fleet will be serving the JFK route, with the caveat that we are running a flexible fleet schedule to meet demand and operational fluctuations. The aircraft deployed on our network is subject to change for the foreseeable future.
Korean Air
Beginning in July, Korean Air will operate daily between Seoul and New York:
- KE81: Seoul (ICN) – New York (JFK): 10:00 – 11:20
- KE82: New York (JFK) – Seoul (ICN): 13:40 – 13:40 +1
Korean Air is thus the third airline to fly to JFK Airport in New York with the super jumbo. In addition to the Seoul connection, Singapore Airlines also flies with the A380 from Singapore via Frankfurt to the Big Apple. Emirates also connects Dubai to New York with the A380; by non-stop and by Fifth Freedom Flight with a stopover in Milan-Malpensa.
Conclusion on the Korean Air A380 connection to New York
Fans of the Airbus A380 can look forward to the next connection with the super jumbo. Korean Air launches another route with the world’s largest passenger plane. So you can experience the A380 again between Seoul and New York before Korean Air says goodbye to the super jumbo completely in the next four years.
