Korean Air recently expanded its network to Southwest Asia with the launch of a direct service from Sri Lanka and the Maldives to Seoul Incheon.
Korean Air’s new three times weekly direct service flies from Male in the Maldives to Colombo in Sri Lanka first, and then onto Seoul/Incheon in Korea. The Male-Colombo-Seoul/Incheon flights operate every Tuesday, Thursday and Sunday.
Korean Air’s new Male-Colombo-Seoul/Incheon route are being operated with an Airbus 330-300, seating 276 passengers and equipped with Korean Air’s premium seats. First Class has 6 Sleeper Seats – the 180 degree full-flat beds with an 83-inch pitch and a 21-inch width, guaranteeing comfort and freedom during the flight.
The new Korean Air route ensures travelers from the Maldives and Sri Lanka hassle-free journeys to Korea and convenient transit to destinations in the Americas, Japan, China and other Asian countries. In addition, travelers from South Indian cities such as Chennai can also enjoy air travel to Seoul Incheon and beyond via Colombo where airport transfer is comfortable and relaxing.
With the launch of the new route, the demand for both business and leisure travel to and from the Maldives, Sri Lanka and South India is expected to increase. Korean Air’s new service will also enhance the relationship between Korea and Southwest Asian countries and improve Korea’s ties to the region.
