Delta has officially launched its first-ever nonstop flight from Salt Lake City to Incheon, South Korea. As a result, the airline expanded its international reach while creating a key connection to Asia from the U.S. Midwest. Moreover, this route opens fresh business and leisure travel opportunities between two dynamic regions.

To mark this milestone, a vibrant travel event took place in Salt Lake City. Korea Tourism Organization led the celebration with strong support from Delta and Incheon International Airport. Together, they hosted a high-impact showcase that blended cultural experiences with industry networking.

During the event, attendees explored Korean traditions through hands-on activities and immersive experiences. For instance, they enjoyed calligraphy, custom photo booths, and decorative crafts. These cultural highlights added excitement and created emotional connections with Korean destinations.

Meanwhile, Delta emphasized the importance of direct access to Asia from the American interior. The airline outlined how this route boosts convenience for travelers who once relied on connecting flights. Additionally, tourism partners presented Korea’s growing range of attractions and experiences.

The event drew over 80 travel professionals from Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado. Consequently, new partnerships and promotional strategies emerged to strengthen tourism flow toward Korea. Discussions led to fresh ideas for marketing Korean destinations to U.S. travelers.

Since the launch, Korea Tourism Organization committed to continued outreach in the U.S. Moreover, they aim to shape region-specific strategies rather than generic campaigns. By customizing efforts, they hope to better engage U.S. travelers with Korea’s unique offerings.

This direct flight benefits both regions. Ultimately, it simplifies travel, supports tourism growth, and strengthens Delta’s presence in underserved markets. With strategic coordination and cultural enthusiasm, Delta and its partners have set the stage for long-term success.
