Korea has long been a favoured hot-spot for travellers from Hong Kong, and  with the introduction of this service we are able to offer more options and flexibility for those travellers, with the guarantee of a quality in-flight experience. For our new Korea route, we have recruited over ten native Korean speaking flight attendants to ensure travellers enjoy a seamless in-flight experience.”
