Korean Air is adding a new air route between Busan and Taipei from Jan. 25.

The service will run seven times a week, at 8:30 a.m. from Gimhae International Airport in Busan, except on Wednesdays.

On Wednesdays, the flight is 25 minutes earlier at both Gimhae and Taipei.

Total flight time to Taoyuan International Airport in Taipei takes about an hour and 45 minutes. The plane traveling from Taipei will leave at 11:15 a.m. and arrive in Gimhae at 2:35 p.m.

This is the company’s 15th international air route departing from Busan, following routes to Osaka, Guam and Hong Kong. The new route is expected to expand options for travelers in the Busan and South Gyeongsang areas and diversify the flight schedule.

The airline will use B737-800s on the new route.
