Geraghty said: "Korea continues to be an important market for us so it’s fantastic to return to Seoul from next month. Seoul continues to be an important route for our cargo services too. In the same period last year, we carried more than 2000 tonnes of cargo between the cities, with fresh produce like avocados, blueberries, and lamb heading to Korea from New Zealand. We’re expecting to see similar volumes of cargo transported between the cities this season"
For a limited period, Air New Zealand has introduced a special offer fare of $699 one way, which is on sale until the end of September or until they are sold out. Travel periods are from 28 October to 25 November 2024 and 13 January to 24 March 2025.
Prime Minister, Rt Hon Christopher Luxon, said, "Korea is an important inbound tourism and trade market for Aotearoa. In the year ending June 2024, 70,000 arrivals came from Korea, making it the sixth-largest visitor market. It’s great to see more air travel capacity this summer as it means more opportunities for connection between Korea and Aotearoa"
