South Korean biggest airlines ‘Korean Air’ plans to resume flights on 19 international routes next month as it strives to offset a sharp decline in passenger travel demand with an increased demand for cargo deliveries.
Korean Air said the resumption is aimed at preparing for increased travel demand after countries ease their entry restrictions on incoming passengers to stem the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Its reopening routes include Ulaanbaatar, Washington, D.C., Seattle, Vancouver, Toronto, Frankfurt, Singapore, Beijing and Kuala Lumpur. However, flight resuming must be approved by the Mongolian National Emergency Commission. Mongolia has cancelled all flights since mid- February.
The KDB and Eximbank plan to extend 1.2 trillion won in financial aid to the country’s biggest airline, which is also the national flag carrier.
