Korean Air is set to launch flights between Gatwick and Seoul.

The three-times-weekly flights will launch on 29 April 2012 using a Boeing 777 aircraft in a three-class configuration.

Guy Stephenson, Gatwick Airport’s Chief Commercial Officer says: “We are very excited to welcome Korean Air to Gatwick. South Korea remains one of Asia’s fastest growing economies and an important growth market for the UK. It is critical therefore that the UK has strong connections to this country and we are pleased that the airline has chosen to grow its London-Seoul route from Gatwick.”
