Korean Air plans to commence non-stop flights on June 21 from Seoul-Incheon to Nairobi in Kenya, which would make it the first airline to operate direct service from northeast Asia to Nairobi, the carrier said.

Its new service to Nairobi will be operated with A330-200 aircraft - departing from Seoul Incheon every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. Returns will be every Wednesday, Friday and Sunday.

The airline has been serving major destinations in Africa through codesharing with Kenya Airways, one of the SkyTeam alliance members.
