Flag Carriers to Resume Limited Flights to Int'l Destinations
16 June, 2021
Korean airlines are resuming international flights as the federal government plans to open a travel bubble for vaccinated people with several countries.
Asiana Airlines said Monday it will resume its service between Incheon and the U.S.-controlled Pacific island of Saipan on July 24, offering one flight a week. The route has been suspended since May this past year as a result of coronavirus pandemic.
The flight will depart every Saturday at 9:00 a.m. and return from Saipan at 4:00 p.m. the same day.
Travelers showing proof of vaccination shots approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration or the World Health Organization will be exempt from quarantine in Saipan.
The airline said it plans to resume more international routes in the next half of this year.
Korean Air has requested authorization to resume regular flights from Incheon to Vladivostok in Russia's Far East, which have been halted since March 2020.
Air Seoul will operate two flights a week between Incheon and Guam starting Aug. 12. T'way Air will resume flights to Guam and Saipan the following month, while Air Busan plans to fly to Guam in September.
