Korean Air has decided to deploy an A380 to Frankfurt in a move that has surprised some (as London was on the cards).
It seems the money in Frankfurt and trade links are more important than a city name… and people who will pay and fill those business class seats – so business sense rather than pride. (although Korean Air has expanded its route to London recently – even adding a route to London Gatwick).
The service will operate as below:
KE905 DEPART ICN 12:50 ARRIVE FRA 17:45 KE906 DEPART FRA 19:45 ARRIVE ICN 13:05. Route change commences: 25th March 2012 Booked Equipment: Airbus A380-800
Whilst Korean Air hasn’t formally announced the route, the data is on the GDS, and you can start booking those seats.. now.
