The U.S. mega-carrier Delta will be launching a new direct service linking Salt Lake City International Airport and Seoul-Incheon International Airport, with a provisional start date of 12th June 2025.
Delta says the route, which will be the only Asia region route from Salt Lake City, will be operated by the carrier's advanced and fuel-efficient Airbus A250. These aircraft feature four different levels of comfort. Delta One Suites, Delta Premium Select, Delta Comfort+, and Main Cabins.
Delta One customers will enjoy a luxury experience with lie-flat seating, premium bedding, expanded beverage options, and a seasonal chef-curated four-course meal. As part of Delta’s new collaboration with Italian fashion house Missoni, Delta One passengers will receive exclusive amenity kits featuring luxury details that elevate their inflight experience.
For customers in Delta Premium Select, wider seats, deeper recline, and elevated service create a more spacious and relaxing journey. Across all cabins, passengers can enjoy a curated food and beverage experience along with access to over 1,000 hours of entertainment via Delta Studio.
“The launch of Salt Lake City to Seoul service offers customers convenient access to Delta’s growing global network and ensures that virtually all U.S. demand is connected to Seoul via nonstop or one-stop service,” said Joe Esposito, Delta’s Senior Vice President – Network Planning. “As Salt Lake City continues to grow as a vital Delta hub, our strong joint venture with Korean Air allows us to offer unmatched connectivity between the U.S. and Asia, leveraging strong hubs on both sides. This ensures that customers, including those in the interior U.S., have access not just to Seoul but to key destinations across Asia."
Utah Gov. Spencer J. Cox said, “As we open this new gateway to Asia, I am excited to expand Utah’s global reach and foster new cultural and business partnerships. Delta’s commitment to our state underscores Utah’s growing role on the world stage."
Salt Lake City Mayor Erin Mendenhall said, “Strong partnerships can often have the biggest impacts on visitors and our residents. From Delta’s Salt Lake City hub, the Incheon route will connect our capital city with 80-plus destinations in Asia, expanding our community’s global reach and what so many already know. Salt Lake City and the Mountain West are among the best places to visit and an even better place to call home.”
Lee Hag-jae, President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, shared, “I’m confident that Incheon Airport will continue to grow as a global hub through our partnership with Delta Air Lines. Together, we aim to set the standard for airline partnerships, sharing a vision of leading the global aviation market as a top-tier airport and airline.”
