Daily flights will get under way on 29 March 2026 utilising "remedy slots" Virgin gained following the merger of Korean Air and Asiana.
SkyTeam partner Korean will be Virgin’s only competitor on the route to Incheon International airport. Chief executive Shai Weiss said the flight offered “very good connectivity” with Korean’s network.
"This solidifies our Asia portfolio," he said, adding: “It’s a very nice way of connecting to Japan."
Virgin will operate the route using Boeing 787-9 aircraft. Fares will go on sale on 14 May.
