It will fly two round trips daily between Incheon near Seoul and Narita Airport outside Tokyo as well as Kansai Airport serving Osaka starting on Oct. 11. Daily service between Incheon and Fukuoka and Sapporo will start with the switch to a winter schedule on Oct. 30. Incheon-Nagoya and Busan-Narita flights will be increased as well.
