The airport secured Scotland’s only direct service from Seoul after flag carrier Korean Air and tour operator Hanjin Travel confirmed earlier this year they would introduce a summer charter service from the country’s capital - one of the world’s megacities with a population of more than 10 million people.

In recent years, it has been extending its European route network with the launch of similar charter services to Oslo and Marseille.
