Newark is a city in New Jersey, U.S., and one of the major satellite cities in the New York metropolitan area. Newark Liberty International Airport is close to Manhattan, making it convenient to travel to major areas in New York and New Jersey.


New York, adjacent to Newark, is a world-renowned center of culture, art and tourism. With a wide range of travel experiences, including shopping, dining and sports, it continues to attract tourists from around the world. The city is home to world-famous attractions such as Times Square, Central Park, the Statue of Liberty and the Empire State Building.


Newark is also considered a major industrial and business hub in the eastern United States. New Jersey is home to a range of developed industries, including finance, pharmaceuticals and biotechnology, life sciences and logistics, as well as the headquarters and major operations of numerous global companies. Accordingly, the Incheon-Newark route is expected to serve not only tourism demand but also business travel, improving travel convenience for customers visiting the eastern United States.



A Korean Air representative said, "With the launch of this new Incheon-Newark route, we plan to expand access to the eastern United States and further improve convenience for tourists and business travelers visiting New York and New Jersey. Korean Air will continue to strengthen its Americas route network and offer customers more convenient and diverse travel options."
