The busy summer travel season is here, and Delta Air Lines has announced something special that they haven’t done in six years. Each year, Delta Air Lines gets 200 million travelers to more than 350 vacation spots. “We remain committed to ensuring that the future of travel is connected, personalized and enjoyable,” the company says.

Delta is headquartered in Atlanta and has hubs in key markets across America and around the world. They also have partnerships that enable them to serve travelers outside of their hubs, including with Aeromexico, Air France-KLM, China Eastern, Korean Air, LATAM, Virgin Atlantic and WestJet.

Delta was also No. 11 on the 2024 tally of Fortune’s 50 Most Admired Companies, ranking higher than any other airline on the Top 50 list, and it was No. 1 on the roster of Fortune 50’s Most Admired Airlines.

Now, Delta is extending its footprint and offering a service that’s back after a six-year hiatus. Delta has resumed direct fights between Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) and Incheon International Airport (ICN) in South Korea, marking the first time those fights have been on the schedule in more than half a decade, according to Aviation A2Z. The outlet reports that “the newly launched Salt Lake City–Seoul route reflects Delta’s broader strategic efforts to reinforce its trans-Pacific network.”

The flights are operated with Delta’s partnership with Korean Air (KE) and give Korean travelers the ability to reach 35 U.S. cities through the Salt Lake City International Airport.

Delta Air Lines and Korean Air began a joint venture partnership on transpacific routes back on May 1, 2018, offering travelers an enhanced and expanded network. The joint venture was approved by regulatory authorities in the U.S. and Korea.

“Our expanded partnership means a host of new destinations and travel options across Asia and North America, with seamless connectivity, world-class reliability and the industry’s best customer service,” Delta CEO Ed Bastian said at the time.
