Air Premia’s 15‑Hour Seoul–Washington 787 Flight and Etihad’s A380 to Tokyo Narita: How 2026 Is Reshaping Long‑Haul Travel
South Korea’s Air Premia will launch nonstop Boeing 787-9 flights from Seoul Incheon to Washington Dulles on April 24, 2026, breaking Korean Air’s monopoly on the route. The service will run four times weekly, with flight times up to 15 hours due to Russian airspace restrictions. Air India’s exit from the Delhi–Dulles route has opened long-haul capacity at the airport.
