While the resumption will mark Korean Air’s return on the route for the first time since terminating it approximately 27 years in 1997, the South Korean low-cost T’Way currently already offers daily flights between Seoul and Kumamoto. Additionally, Asiana is set to launch the route on November 7, 2024, albeit with only three weekly flights.
Korean Air’s other destinations in Kyushu include Fukuoka, which it plans to increase to four daily later this month, and Kagoshima, served five times a week.
