Melbourne Airport hits record numbers for international flights

ASIANA AIRLINES AIRBUS A380-841 HL-7641 (MSN 231)

2023 is ending on a high for Melbourne's Tullamarine airport with a record number of international airlines now flying to Melbourne Airport.

Tuesday night saw the latest arrival. 
South Korea’s Asiana Airlines started seasonal services to Seoul, making it the 38th international carrier to serve Melbourne Airport. The airline is operating two direct flights a week between Melbourne Airport (MEL/YMML) and the South Korean capital of Seoul (ICN/ RKSI) using a state-of-the-art Airbus A350 aircraft, fitted with 311 seats.
HL8361 departed Seoul as OZ6033 at 8.24 am and landed in Melbourne ten hours later at 8.28 pm (local time)
OZ6043, should have departed at 10.00pm but didn't get away until 11.00 pm and landed in Seoul 7.24 am 

With a population of more than nine million people, Seoul is a global economic hub and the gateway to one of the world’s manufacturing powerhouses as well as being the home of the world-famous K-Pop.

At this stage flights will operate every Tuesday and Thursday, departing Melbourne at 10pm and arriving at Seoul’s Incheon Airport the following morning.
