Korean Air has launched non-stop flights between Boston and Seoul.
The first flight, operated as part of a joint venture with Delta Air Lines, was saluted by a water cannon on arrival and celebrated in speeches by airline and government officials.
“Korean Air is the largest trans-Pacific airline and we’ve been eyeing Boston for a long time,” said the Korean Air vice president of marketing, John Jackson.
“It makes sense, with our Delta joint venture, to start service there now.
“Delta is growing fast in Boston and adding an Asia flight will help them solidify their position.”
“As a major gateway for high tech industries, Boston is the most popular unserved point from Korea with rapidly growing demand to Asia,” Jackson added.
