Emirates has revealed it will launch A380 services to South Korea’s Incheon International Airport in November.

The Dubai airline said the flight, which was announced on Wednesday, will capitalise on rising demand for services to the Asian country’s capital.

“Seoul has been an extremely successful market for Emirates since we introduced services in 2005,” said Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al-Maktoum, chairman and chief executive of Emirates Airline.

“In 2004, just 37,000 passengers a year travelled between Dubai and Seoul where as today it is over 260,000. This new aircraft will allow us to further develop this market as well as encourage more tourism and trade to South Korea.”
