The aircraft will replace the daily 777 services between Dubai (DXB) and Seoul (ICN) boosting capacity on the route.

This increased capacity will coincide with the Korean Government and Private Enterprise campaign to promote South Korea as a destination for International Tourism. The campaign titled "Visit Korea Years 2010-2012" will see a number of special events held focusing on the countries national culture as well as ecology and the ocean.
