Korean Air will launch seasonal nonstop flights between Seoul Incheon and Melbourne from 18 December 2026 to 14 March 2027, using Boeing 787-9 aircraft. The service will operate three times a week, on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays, with departures timed to serve the Australian summer travel peak.
The route will leave Seoul Incheon at 08:00 and arrive in Melbourne at 20:30 local time. Return flights will depart Melbourne at 22:00 and reach Seoul at 07:35 the following day.
The new service expands Korean Air’s Australia network and comes as the carrier continues post-merger network adjustments following its integration with Asiana Airlines. Booking availability on Korean Air’s website indicates the route is already open for sale, supporting the launch timetable and schedule now in place for the seasonal operation.
