Effective June 1, Korean
Air will begin a thrice weekly Incheon-Los Angeles-Seattle cargo service.
Seattle houses the Boeing production-line as well as the headquarters of
Microsoft and Starbucks. Various industries such as vessel and automobile
productions are also well-developed so the Seattle air cargo market has great
potential for growth. Moreover, its location between Vancouver, Canada and
Portland makes it a perfect Northwestern American air freight hub.
Korean Air will operate its thrice weekly Incheon-Los Angeles-Seattle cargo
service using the B747-400F. Since June 2005, Korean Air has been providing
the air cargo service to Seattle with its four weekly passenger flights.
"With an addition of our cargo service to Seattle, we have substantially
secured the main air cargo hub in the Northwestern region of America," said
Jong Hee Lee, President and COO of Korean Air. "We expect our domestic companies to enhance their competitive powers in exportation and our
customers to enjoy the convenient services."
