Korean Air is considering upgrading its seasonal charter flights from Seoul to Zagreb, EX-YU Aviation reports
As we reported yesterday, most tourists that come to Zagreb come from South Korea, so it’s no surprise that Korean Air is considering making its seasonal flights from Seoul to Zagreb a year-round service, as EX-YU Aviation reported on July 6, 2017.
The President of Korean Air, Won-Tae Cho, said in an interview with Maeil Business Newspaper that the next generation of fuel-efficient jets, such as the Boeing 787-9, will allow the airline to “reduce costs and improve the business”.
