Korean Air will be launching a new daily service between Seoul Incheon and Macao from 1 July, making it the only full-service carrier connecting the two cities.

With a total flight time of approximately three hours and 40 minutes, the service will deploy the airline’s fleet of Airbus A321neos from 15 July. The A321neo is also equipped with fully lie-flat seats in Prestige Class.

The new Macao service provides Greater Bay Area travellers with more flight options, with travellers from southern Chinese cities such as Jiangmen, Zhongshan, and Taishan being able to reach Seoul Incheon in as little as two hours.

Travelers from the region will also have the option to connect to Korean Air's extensive North America and Japan destinations via Seoul Incheon International Airport.

Flights depart from Seoul Incheon International Airport at 9:15pm and arrive at Macao International Airport at 11:55pm. The return flights depart from Macao International Airport at 1:10am the next day and arrive at Seoul Incheon International Airport at 6:00am.

"Currently, the international travel market is gradually recovering, and the demand for premium airline services is growing,” said Yohan Park, vice president and head of China regional headquarters, Korean Air.
