The Busain route will be operated with Airbus A350 aircraft three times a week, on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays in summer season 2020, starting on March 30th. Busan is located on the south-eastern tip of the Korean Peninsula and is known for its beautiful scenery that combines mountains, rivers and the sea. It offers excellent beaches and great hiking trails in a temperate climate.
