JAL Doubles Number of Charter Flights between Tokyo and Seoul

From August 1st, 2005 Japan Airlines (JAL) is to double the number of daily round-trip charter flights it operates between Haneda (Tokyo) Airport and Gimpo (Seoul) Airport. The new charter flights will increase the total number of flights offered by JAL, between Japan and Korea, from 230 to 244 per week (on a one-way basis).

Currently JAL operates a daily round-trip charter flight between Tokyo and Seoul (JL8831/8832), using Boeing 747 aircraft with 86 seats in business class and 292 seats in economy class. JAL will introduce a similar second daily charter flight service (JL8833/8834) on August 1st . Together with adjustments made to the original charter flight’s schedule, the new service will greatly enhance the options available to passengers traveling between these two cities. The flights offer convenient access to the heart of both cities, and will even enable travelers to visit the cities on just a one-day trip.

Travellers can reserve a seat on JAL’s charter flights by either purchasing a fully inclusive package holiday, or simply by buying a normal or discounted air ticket.
