THE only direct service from South Korea to Scotland will return to Glasgow Airport this summer with an increased capacity.
Flag carrier Korean Air and tour operator Hanjin Travel have announced the return of the service following last year’s landmark decision to operate three inbound charter flights to Glasgow from Seoul.
The addition of a fourth flight to this year’s inbound-only charter service further strengthens Glasgow’s reputation as the country’s leading long-haul hub and will see the airport once again become a gateway to Scotland for more than 1,300 South Korean tourists during July and August.
The first service from Seoul will start on July 26 with the remaining three flights arriving throughout August.
Hanjin Travel is one of South Korea’s largest travel firms and has played a major role in developing their tourism industry.
In recent years it has extended its European network with the launch of Oslo and Marseille services.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
Callum Baird, Editor of The National
