Houston to Seoul with nonstop flight

HOUSTON – Korean Air has officially launched daily nonstop flight service from George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) to Incheon International Airport (ICN) in Seoul, South Korea.

Nonstop flights connecting the two destinations will depart from the Terminal D facility at IAH every morning.

Airport officials are confident Korean Air will be successful in Houston, due in large part to the dramatic expansion that’s taken place in Houston’s Asian population over the past decade. During that time, the Asian demographic has expanded by 70 percent.

Korean Air accommodates more than 24 million passengers annually over six continents, making it one of the world’s 20 busiest airlines.
