Starting April 2025, Asiana Airlines, a South Korean carrier, will introduce regular flights between Prague and Seoul.

This makes it the second airline to operate on this route, according to Jiří Hannich, deputy spokesperson for Prague Airport. Korean Air, which previously held a monopoly on this connection, finalized its merger with Asiana Airlines at the end of last year.

The new service will operate three times weekly on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays, beginning April 1. Flights will utilize the Airbus A350, accommodating 311 passengers in total: 28 in business class and 283 in economy.

With the addition of Asiana Airlines, the total number of weekly flights between Prague and Seoul will increase to seven.

Korean Air has been operating flights on this route since 2004, interrupted only by the Covid-19 pandemic in 2020. The route resumed in January 2022, cementing its status as one of Prague Airport’s longest-running long-haul connections.

Jiří Pos, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Prague Airport, expressed enthusiasm about Asiana Airlines’ arrival.

“Asiana Airlines is a globally recognized brand, and its entry into Prague strengthens the connection to Seoul. Passengers can also benefit from Asiana’s extensive network of connecting flights from Seoul to other destinations in Asia. This expansion will foster greater business collaboration between the Czech Republic and South Korea, while also boosting tourism from Asia.”

Asiana Airlines currently serves six European destinations, including Frankfurt, Paris, London, Rome, Barcelona, and Istanbul. Prague will become the airline’s seventh European hub.

Won YooSeok, President of Asiana Airlines, shared optimism about the new route:

“We believe this new connection to Prague will strengthen our network in Central and Eastern Europe. Expanding our global destinations is part of our commitment to ensuring maximum customer satisfaction.”
