Air Premia, a South Korean airline that started flying in 2021, announced it will launch service to Dulles International Airport in Washington DC on April 24. This will be the carrier’s fifth US destination and second on the East Coast. (Newark was introduced in May 2023.)
In addition to the nonstop service to Seoul Incheon, Air Premia also serves Bangkok, Danang (Vietnam), Hong Kong and Tokyo-Narita, giving passengers from Dulles the opportunity to reach more destinations in Asia.
Myungsub Yoo, Air Premia CEO, said the launch of the Washington service “marks a significant milestone in Air Premia’s expansion across North America.” By connecting Seoul with Washington, the political and economic hub of the US, he said, “we aim to offer optimized service for both business and leisure travelers.” He added that Air Premia will continue to expand its global network “to provide customers with a wider range of choices and a higher level of service.”
The airline’s 787-9s have 56 Premium Class reclining seats in a 2-3-2 layout, and 253 economy seats in a 3-3-3 layout.
