On June 5, 2025, Korean Air, South Korea’s national carrier, began operating direct charter flights between Seoul and Yerevan, according to the Armenian Tourism Federation.
A new route operates from Incheon International Airport (ICN) in Seoul to Zvartnots Airport (EVN) in Yerevan and back.
The flight duration is approximately 8 hours and 35 minutes. The flight is designated KE9986 on the Yerevan – Seoul route.
The direct flight opens up new opportunities for tourist exchanges: Koreans can visit Armenia’s architectural and natural attractions, while Armenian tourists can enjoy the K-pop scene, temples, palaces, and festivals in Seoul.
The charter model allows for flexible optimization of flights to meet seasonal demand while maintaining competitive prices.
