The route will operate every day from Seoul to Dallas and vice versa. The flight from Incheon International Airport will depart at 5 p.m. and arrive at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport at 4:20 p.m. The flight from Dallas will depart at 10:30 a.m. every day and arrive at Incheon at 3 p.m.

The aircraft will be Boeing 777-200 offering economy, business and first class seats.

“Korea is a very important market for American Airlines. The new flight route has reconfirmed our interest in the Asia-Pacific region. We plan to strengthen the global flight network,” said Erwan Perhirin, Asia-Pacific Vice President of American Airlines.
