Korean Air is celebrating 15 years since the launch of regular flights between Prague and Seoul. The route between Prague and Seoul is now serviced during the winter season by the latest Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner with a capacity of 269 seats, and during the summer schedule a Boeing 747-8i with a capacity of 368 seats is used. Korean Air is one of the few airlines to offer Prague first class. The inaugural flight landed in Prague on May 15, 2004. At that time, an Airbus A330-200 with 257 seats in two travel classes was used. Over the years on the Prague route, Korean Air has also used an Airbus A330-200, Airbus A330-300, Boeing 777-200ER, Boeing 777-300ER and Boeing 747-400. In March 2014, the Airbus A380 was deployed on the line. “The direct route from Prague to Seoul is one of the most important long-haul connections from Václav Havel Airport Prague, and also the oldest. Over 15 years of operation, more than 1.3 million passengers have flown with Korean Air on this route, and over 5,600 departures and landings by this carrier have taken place in Prague,” Václav Řehoř, Chairman Board of Directors of Prague Airport, said in a press release....
