South Korea's Winter Schedule Lifts International Flights to 5,353 a Week, Up 7.6%
South Korea's winter flight schedule opened on October 25, with 5,353 weekly international passenger flights scheduled on 264 routes connecting 44 countries through March 27, 2027, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said. The flights will be operated by 84 airlines, including 11 South Korean carriers and 73 foreign airlines.
The weekly total is up 7.6% from 4,973 flights last winter and surpasses the pre-pandemic level of 4,980 in the winter of 2019.
The expansion is driven mainly by additional services to Japan and China, with weekly flights increasing by 314 and 232 respectively, amid robust inbound and outbound travel demand, according to the ministry.
