Korean Air will resume its Seoul Incheon–Newark service on May 22, 2027, marking its return to the route after a 25-year absence. The airline plans to operate daily flights using Boeing 777-300ER aircraft.
The new service will expand Korean Air’s presence in the New York metropolitan area and complement its existing twice-daily operations to John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK).
The airline will re-enter a competitive market where United Airlines and Air Premia also operate services, offering passengers another direct travel option between South Korea and the New York region.
