Virgin Atlantic to Launch London Heathrow – Seoul Incheon Route from March 29, 2026

Wednesday, April 23, 2025

Virgin Atlantic has announced the opening of its London Heathrow – Seoul Incheon route on March 29, 2026.

The intention to open the route was indicated in March 2023. The service will use Boeing 787-9 aircraft, with one round-trip operated daily. Ticket sales will begin on May 14.

Virgin Atlantic has withdrawn from Tokyo Narita, Hong Kong, and Shanghai Pudong, marking a return to East Asia. Through connections with SkyTeam airlines, it will connect to Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Vietnam.

As a condition for the merger approval of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, Virgin Atlantic is entering the market to promote competition. Korean Air will transfer its slots at both airports, with operations to continue for at least three years.
