Virgin Atlantic has agreed a new codeshare partnership with SkyTeam stablemate Korean Air, which it says will open up seamless connections with more than a dozen destinations across Asia and Australasia.

Inside Travel Group's PR and partnerships manager James Mundy described the move as "hugely exciting" for travel

The codeshare will open up onward connections from South Korean capital Seoul

The codeshare will debut on Saturday (25 March) on services to Seoul’s Incheon airport, and has been described by Virgin as a "first step" towards its entry to Seoul.


It comes after the UK’s Competition and Markets Authority earlier this month ruled a merger between Korean Air and Asiana would create a monopoly on the Heathrow-Seoul route.
