When looking at the airline’s schedule strictly in terms of service by country, the United States is indeed one of Korean Air’s largest markets next month. With a schedule outside of the global health crisis, China would normally be Korean Air’s largest market. However, many of the routes to this country remain suspended.
According to the airline’s flight data, many of the cities worldwide the airline will fly to will have a planned frequency of two to four times per week. Some cities will even be as infrequent as once per week. These include Moscow, Guangzhou, and Shenyang. At least for Guangzhou, the service will feature the airline’s only active A380.
There are a few popular spots that will receive daily service. The cities are Bangkok, Tokyo (Narita), Ho Chi Minh, and Manila. These cities are big markets for the airline with strong economic links.
Unfortunately, South Korea remains fairly restricted for incoming travelers. Since April 13th, visa exemption entry into South Korea for 90 countries has been suspended. Furthermore, all passengers entering Korea will undergo special quarantine at a government-mandated facility at their own expense.
Furthermore, all passengers (excluding South Korean) who depart from Uzbekistan, Philippines, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Bangladesh, and Nepal within the last 14 days and are arriving/transferring to Korea via a third country will need to present a PCR-negative certificate.
