Korean Air to Operate Airbus A380 in time for London Olympics

It now seems that reports suggest that Korean Air will be operating an Airbus A380 to London in time for the 2012 London Olympic games. The chief executive of Korean Air has apparently confirmed the statement.

The A380, which was meant to be in operation in time for the Beijing Olympics, would start flying from Seoul to London in time for the games. This is big news for Korean Air, as many people love to go watch the Olympic games. Right now many airlines are doing all they can to bust routes and capacity to London in time for the games.

The chairman and CEO of Korean Air, Yang Ho Cho, said just recently that the UK market is important for Korean Air. This is because London is one of the most important hubs in all of Europe. This is something that Korean Air hopes to take advantage of and, thus, explains the launch of an A380 on the route in time for the Olympic games in 2012.

Yang Ho Cho went on to say that the carrier has ordered 10 A380’s, and they had hope to have them launched in time for the Beijing Olympic games. He said that they will now operate in the bigger markets and London. He noted that they will be on the London route in time for the games this time.

Yang Ho Cho added that Korean Air would welcome Japan Airlines as the ninth member of the Skyteam alliance of airlines. He said that Japan Airlines is a very important airline in Asia and Skyteam is currently negotiating with the carrier.
