Korean Air is increasing its flight frequency between Seoul-Incheon International Airport (ICN) and Ninoy Aquino International Airport (MNL) for the upcoming holiday season, as reported by AeroRoutes.com.

Starting Nov. 24, 2024, through Jan. 31, 2025, the airline will offer a fourth daily flight, bringing the total number of daily flights between the two capitals to four.

The new flight, KE619/620, will be operated by a Boeing 737-900ER aircraft, departing Seoul Incheon at 9:40 p.m. and arriving in Manila at 1:05 a.m. the following day. The return flight, KE620, will depart Manila at 2:20 a.m. and arrive in Seoul Incheon at 7:25 a.m.

This addition complements Korean Air’s existing three daily flights, providing travelers with more options during the peak travel season. These flights utilize a mix of Boeing 777-300ER and Airbus A321neo aircraft depending on the specific flight number.

The increased capacity is expected to cater to the surge in demand for travel between South Korea and the Philippines during the holidays.
