S. Korea resumes direct flights between Gimpo, Beijing airports
SEOUL, June 28 (Yonhap) -- South Korea will resume air shuttle service this week between Gimpo and Beijing airports after suspending the route for the past decade, the state-run airport operation said Tuesday.
Four airline firms from the two countries, including Korean Air and Air China, will start operating a total of eight round-trip flights between Gimpo Airport near Seoul and Beijing Capital International Airport on Friday, Korea Airport Corp. said.
The Gimpo-Beijing route had been suspended for nearly a decade as larger Incheon International Airport took over after opening in March 2001.
The resumption is likely to pave the way for the two countries to beef up cultural, economic and tourist exchanges, the firm said.
