Korean Air will increase the capacity of its Seoul-Bangkok route this month, with the launch of its first Airbus A380 flights to the Thai capital.

The Bangkok Post reports that the airline’s fourth daily flight between Seoul’s Incheon Airport and Bangkok’s Suvarnabhumi Airport will get underway on 19 December, and will run for the winter season until 2 March 2016.

The flight will be operated using the 407-seat A380, which is the largest aircraft in Korean Air’s fleet and offers 12 seats in first class, 94 in business class and 301 in economy.

The newspaper reported Korean Air as saying that it expects to fill an average of 90% of the seats on the new service. Another South Korean carrier, Asiana Airlines, already operates A380 flights on the Seoul-Bangkok route.

The new A380 service will depart Incheon Airport daily at 1850, arriving in Bangkok at 2255. The return service then leaves at 0055 and arrives back in Seoul at 0805.

This new flight complements the existing 0900, 1715 and 2015 departures from Seoul, and the 0950, 2145 and 2245 return services from Bangkok. The three existing flights are operated using a mix of Airbus A330, Boeing 747 and Boeing 777 aircraft.
