Asiana Airlines is set to reintroduce its Airbus A380 flights from Seoul, South Korea, to New York's John F. Kennedy International Airport (JFK) this summer after a six-year hiatus. The flights are scheduled to operate between May 30 and September 30.

AeroRoutes reported that Asiana Airlines has scheduled the Airbus A380 for one of its daily flights from Seoul Incheon International Airport (ICN) to New York-JFK. According to data from Cirium’s Diio Mi airline planning tool, Asiana Airlines last operated this route with the A380 in October 2019.

In late 2019, Asiana Airlines replaced the A380 with the A350-900 on this route. Since then, the latter aircraft has been operating up to double-daily flights between Seoul-Incheon and New York-JFK. Currently, Asiana Airlines has six active A380 aircraft in its fleet.

Before adding New York-JFK back into its A380 network, Asiana's plans for June included 32 weekly flights to four destinations: Bangkok Suvarnabhumi Airport (BKK), Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), Tokyo Narita International Airport (NRT), and Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport (TPE).

With Korean Air finalizing its acquisition of a majority stake in Asiana Airlines in December 2024, the combined companies now have a total of thirteen A380s. Ch-aviation data indicates that four out of seven Korean Air’s A380s are currently inactive.

In March, Korean Air planned twelve weekly flights using the type: five departures to New York-JFK and seven to Los Angeles. By June, this will expand to twenty-one weekly departures from Seoul-Incheon to Hong Kong International Airport (HKG), New York-JFK, and Taiwan-Taoyuan according to Cirium’s Diio Mi.
