US lifts suspension of aircraft takeoffs... Korean Air/Asiana flight cancellation (comprehensive)

32 passenger flights to the United States are scheduled to operate at Incheon International Airport today... Normalization procedure

(Seoul, Incheon = Yonhap News) Reporter Kim Yun-gu and Kim Sang-yeon = As the suspension of aircraft takeoffs across the United States due to a communication failure at the U.S. Air Traffic Control Center was lifted, the cancellation of some U.S. routes by Korean Air and Asiana Airlines on the morning of the 14th was also canceled.

The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) lifted the ground stop for aircraft takeoffs on the 13th (local time) after about four hours. In addition, the FAA temporarily suspended and then canceled international flights entering U.S. airports.

Accordingly, the Korean Air flight from Incheon to Atlanta (KE033), which had been canceled this morning, is preparing to depart.

Korean Air also planned to cancel flights to Boston and New York, but plans to operate normally depending on changes in the situation.

Korean Air announced on this day that there were no canceled flights due to the U.S. flight restrictions.

Asiana Airlines also decided to resume flights from Incheon to New York (Flight OZ222), which had been canceled. The flight, originally scheduled to depart at 8:40 a.m., is scheduled to depart at 1 p.m.

As the U.S. airport system is restored and flight restrictions are lifted, Incheon International Airport is also scheduled to return to normal operations.

According to Incheon Airport Corporation, there are a total of 32 passenger flights bound for the United States scheduled to depart from Incheon Airport on this day.

However, departure delays for some flights may continue due to operational restrictions.
