A new airline will soon be flying in and out of Dulles International Airport with non-stop service to Seoul Incheon International Airport in South Korea.

Air Premia will launch the service on April 24, 2026. It will operate four days per week year around, flying Boeing 787s with capacity for 320 passengers.

Dulles is the fifth destination in the U.S. for Air Premia and the second one on the East Coast. Air Premia started service to Newark in 2023.

A press released about the new service points out that the greater DC area is home to the second largest Korean-born population on the East Coast.

“As part of our ongoing commitment to expand global connections, growing air service between Washington, D.C. and Asia has been a strategic goal for MWAA,” said Jack Potter, Airports Authority President and CEO, in the release. “This new route strengthens the U.S., Capital Region’s position as a gateway to the world and is expected to generate more than $50 million in local economic impact annually.”

Air Premia is a South Korean airline that also serves cities such as Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Tokyo.
