In a move that signifies its ongoing commitment to South Korea, Emirates is set to enhance its presence in Seoul. Starting February 19, 2024, the airline plans to introduce three additional weekly flights to the bustling capital city. This expansion is not just a boost for frequent travelers but also a strong indicator of Emirates’ dedication to connecting global destinations with South Korea.
The additional flights, designated as EK324/ EK325, will operate on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Utilizing the Boeing 777-300ER aircraft, flight EK324 is scheduled to depart from Dubai at 0445hrs and land in Seoul Incheon International Airport at 1805hrs. The return flight, EK325, will leave Seoul at 2200hrs, arriving back in Dubai at 0315hrs the following day. This scheduling provides passengers with more options and flexibility for their travel plans.
With these additional services, Emirates is set to increase the capacity on the Dubai-Seoul route by over 1,000 seats per week. This expansion addresses the growing demand for international travel to one of East Asia’s most sought-after destinations. It’s not just about more seats; it’s about supporting South Korea’s tourism industry, both inbound and outbound. The increased flight frequency is a reflection of the strong bilateral relations between the UAE and South Korea.
Enhancing Cargo Capacity and Economic Ties
Emirates’ decision to operate three weekly Boeing 777 flights will also bolster cargo capacity between Dubai and Seoul by 45 tonnes. This increase is significant for the trade and economic ties between South Korea and the UAE. It’s not just about passenger travel; it’s about facilitating the Republic’s imports and exports and contributing to Korea’s economy. The expanded cargo capacity underscores the strategic importance of this route in Emirates’ network.
Emirates has been serving Seoul since 2005, currently operating a daily Airbus A380 service from Dubai. With the introduction of the new flights, Emirates will offer 10 weekly flights to Seoul. This mix of Airbus A380 and Boeing 777-300ER aircraft ensures that passengers have more choices and flexibility when traveling to and from Dubai, and beyond to Emirates’ extensive global network of over 130 destinations.
Travelers flying with Emirates can expect a top-notch experience in the sky. The airline prides itself on offering an unmatched culinary journey with multi-course menus inspired by regional flavors, created by award-winning chefs. The selection of premium beverages complements the dining experience. For in-flight entertainment, passengers can indulge in up to 6,500 channels of global content, including Korean movies, TV shows, music, and more, through ice, Emirates’ award-winning inflight entertainment system.
