Delta Air Lines will once again connect its Salt Lake City International Airport (SLC) hub with Asia.
Delta announced Friday that it will add daily service from SLC to Incheon International Airport (ICN) in Seoul, South Korea, beginning June 12, 2025.
This new 5,904-mile route will be operated by Delta's flagship Airbus A350 aircraft, which features Delta One Suites and Premium Select, two of Delta's most premier (and expensive) cabins.
Tickets for the new flight will be available for purchase by Monday.
The flight will depart SLC at 7:40 p.m. and arrive in Seoul at 5:20 p.m. the next day. The eastbound service will depart Seoul at 11:05 a.m. and land at 3:20 p.m.
Delta last flew from SLC to Asia (Tokyo's Narita International Airport) in September 2011, Cirium schedules show, making this the first time that SLC has been connected with nonstop flights to Asia in more than a decade.
When the flight launches, it'll become the only direct link from Salt Lake City to Asia, underscoring the importance of this hub for the Delta network. Travelers connecting across the Southwest U.S. will be able to book even more one-stop itineraries to Seoul thanks to this new flight.
This route will become Delta's fifth nonstop to Seoul, joining existing service from Atlanta, Detroit, Minneapolis-St. Paul and Seattle. The new route, as well as Delta's existing service to Seoul, is supported by the airline's partnership with Korean Air.

Together, the two airlines serve Seoul from 14 U.S. gateways and offer a slew of connections beyond the South Korean capital to points across Asia. In fact, Delta is the largest long-haul foreign carrier at Incheon.
"As Salt Lake City continues to grow as a vital Delta hub, our strong joint venture with Korean Air allows us to offer unmatched connectivity between the U.S. and Asia, leveraging strong hubs on both sides. This ensures that customers, including those in the interior U.S., have access not just to Seoul but to key destinations across Asia," Joe Esposito, senior vice president of network planning, said in a statement.
Meanwhile, Salt Lake City is one of Delta's key domestic hubs, and the airline offers nearly 250 peak-day departures from SLC to more than 90 destinations, including other transatlantic long-haul routes to Amsterdam, London and Paris. SLC is one of the fastest-growing hubs for Delta, so it'll be interesting to see if the carrier adds even more new routes there in the coming months.
At 5,904 miles, the new route will be the longest from Salt Lake City, more than 800 miles longer than the airport's current longest flight to Paris.

Southeastern France’s Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes is famous for some big things, from Mont Blanc, the highest peak in the Alps, and the rolling landscapes that unfurl below it to the millennia-spanning architecture that defines the region’s capital city, Lyon, and beyond. Ironically, one of the best ways to experience all that grandeur is to think small — that is, to visit the small towns that reflect the best of Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes’ endless outdoor possibilities, robust agriculture and gastronomy, and long history and cultural heritage.
