Korean Air will resume using the Airbus A380 for flights from Seoul Incheon to New York JFK this summer, reversing its earlier decision to stop. The A380 will replace the smaller 777-300ER, increasing total daily seats by 23%. The A380 will operate daily flights, with new schedules set for March 30. This change adds more first-class, business, and economy seats compared to the previous aircraft. The US will have 22 A380 routes this summer, with eight airlines operating the superjumbo. Notably, Qatar Airways and Singapore Airlines will not have A380 flights to the US this season.
