NEWS FLASH
Korean Air will operate its three weekly seasonal service between Seoul and Zagreb with the 269-seat Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner aircraft throughout 2020. The jet features 24 business and 245 economy class seats. The equipment represents an upgrade in capacity compared to the 218-seat Airbus A330-200 jet used on the route the previous summer. Korean Air will operate its last service of the year to the Croatian capital on Friday next week. It will resume services between the two cities on March 31, 2020.
Fantastic news! Bad streak is over and now we will have more and more similar news. I think China flights will happen in 2020 since Chinese are falling in love with Croatia.
ReplyDeleteYou're taking jumping to conclusions to the next level, my friend.
DeleteChinese already have very convenient and cheap flights via ME3. Even now in winter without Emirates flights to South America from ZAG are much more expensive than flights to far east. This is mostly due to market saturation as you have so many transfer options even in winter, especially since Aeroflot is flying daily this year.
DeleteThis is a drop in the sea of bad news.
DeleteBut it is nice to see you still hope. It is good
And hopefully with full traffic rights ZAG-ZRH, now after LX pulled out
ReplyDeleteThey don't fly Zagreb-Zurich anymore. They did that last winter but now they won't be flying to Zagreb in winter anymore.
DeleteBravo Hrvatska!
ReplyDeleteThere you are, missed you bro. Don't be such a stranger.
DeleteNot really big thing. It would be better for KE and for ZAG to fly 4pw with A332 than 3pw with B789. But ok...
ReplyDeleteNo- it would be even better to fly 4pw with A332.
Deletewhen they reduce their price - they will have full flights to and from ZAG. Until then, they will have not so great LF and koreans will continue travel via DOH, DXB, IST, BUD, WAW, etc. With better price then can easly fly one more weekly flight to ZAG, even with B789. Obviously they are far away from western point of thinking and doing business.
ReplyDeleteWhen ZAG reduces their prices they will have more airlines and frequencies.
DeleteThey HAVE full flights from and to ZAG and good LF. That's why they are increasing offer to equipment with higher capacity. In summer. The only problem is winter. For that part, I agree both ZAG and KE should go with lower prices and re-introduce the service, with 2 weekly 330 for the beginning
DeleteThat is not true. They kad quite bad LF in the summer months so please do not spread fake news. They were full in April and May, again in September and October, but really bad in June, July and August.
DeleteOf course LF was so bad in peak season. That's why they increased capacity by 25 % for the next summer.
DeleteICN-ZAG
DeleteJanuary: 2.343
February: 1.681
March: 2.623
April: 4.359
May: 5.075
June: 4.756
So true Nemje. Hope Pozdrav iz Rijeke can understand those numbers.
Delete1.681 return passengers in February is a disaster.
DeleteHope you are aware that the seat capacity is shared on triangle operations, meaning that (roughly) 50% of the seat capacity is reserved for ICN-ZAG and 50% for ICN-ZRH (and vice versa). Consequently pax numbers are half the summer months.
DeleteNot really true. Seats are not shared, it goes by live booking so there is no "seats blocked" for ZRH or/and ZAG.
DeleteJust book them for Tokyo Olympics! 5k kunas return ticket! :)
