Delta will launch its first-ever nonstop service from Salt Lake City International Airport to Seoul-Incheon International Airport on June 12, 2025. This route—the only direct flight linking Salt Lake City to Asia—will provide seamless connections to key destinations across Asia for travelers throughout the mountain west and southwest US regions. Customers will fly on Airbus A350 aircraft and will have access to the airport’s recently upgraded terminal and an expansive Delta Sky Club lounge.

Joe Esposito, senior vice president-network planning, said the service offers customers convenient access to Delta’s growing global network and ensures that virtually all US demand is connected to Seoul via nonstop or one-stop service.

As Salt Lake City continues to grow as a vital Delta hub, said Esposito, a strong joint venture with Korean Air allows Delta to offer “unmatched connectivity between the US and Asia, leveraging strong hubs on both sides.” This ensures that customers, he said, including those in the interior US, have access not just to Seoul but to key destinations across Asia.

As Delta’s fifth direct US route to Seoul, the new flight joins Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul, and Seattle in connecting US travelers to Asia. With this addition, Delta — together with partner Korean Air — offers access to Seoul from 14 US gateways.

This route, according to the announcement, solidifies Delta’s leadership in Salt Lake City, where it operates more flights than all other carriers combined. Delta’s presence includes nearly 250 peak-day departures to more than 90 destinations worldwide, featuring nonstop service to other international cities like Amsterdam, London, Paris, and Mexico City, among others.
