British Airways to Seoul

Following the acquisition of bmi, and its slots, British Airways has quickly stepped in with the announcement of a six times per week service to Seoul (South Korea), in direct competition with Korean Airlines who now offer both Heathrow and Gatwick as London destinations.

The service will begin on 2 December 2012.  Operating the route will be a Boeing 777, offering First Class, Club World, World Traveller Plus and World Traveller cabins. 

Drew Crawley, British Airways’ Commercial Director, said: “We have seen significant growth in customers wanting to travel to Seoul for both business and pleasure.  It is a vibrant city with a strong economic base, rated eighth in the Global Cities Index this year.

“Equally, there are vast numbers of South Korean companies wishing to come to the UK to do business as Asia’s economies continue to grow.  We want to ensure that we do our bit in bringing as much business and tourism to the UK as we can.” www.ba.com
