Asiana to connect Melbourne with South Korea
Asiana Airlines plans to launch seasonal Melbourne flights linking Victoria with Seoul.
The route will kick off from December 26.
The full-service carrier will operate two direct flights a week between Melbourne Airport and the South Korean capital using Airbus A350 aircraft.
With a population of more than nine million people, Seoul is a global economic hub and the major gateway for outbound tourism.
Fares are now on sale with Melbourne flights operating every Tuesday and Thursday to Seoul.
“We are excited to welcome Asiana to Melbourne and to add Seoul to our growing network”, Melbourne Airport Chief of Aviation Jim Parashos said.
Melbourne Airport’s own ties with South Korea have been growing, with Korea based Lotte taking over operation of the airport’s duty free business in June.
Asiana Airlines is set to merge with flag carrier Korean Air once approval is finalised by several overseas regulators.
