Singapore Airlines’ regional carrier SilkAir will wing its way to the South Korean port city of Busan from May 1.
SilkAir will operate four flights a week and becomes the first airline to offer scheduled flights between the two cities.
It will serve the route with two-class Boeing 737 MAX 8 aircraft.
"We are pleased to introduce services to Busan, offering customers in Singapore and around the region yet another vibrant and charming destination to explore in our network," said SilkAir chief executive Foo Chai Woo.
"For Koreans travelling from Busan, the new route will also offer greater access and connectivity with the SilkAir and Singapore Airlines network in Asia-Pacific and beyond."
Busan is a popular destination for tourism and a major cruise departure point.
Regional airline SilkAir is currently undergoing a major restructuring of its flight network, with several existing routes transferring to SIA’s budget arm Scoot.
It operates about 400 weekly flights to 49 destinations across 26 countries in Asia Pacific.
