News North Korea hasn’t resumed regular flights to Shanghai, counter to scheduleData shows Air Koryo flew to Chinese city only once in recent months despite stating it operates biweekly flights
North Korea’s flag carrier Air Koryo has not resumed regular flights from Pyongyang to Shanghai, despite listing a biweekly schedule for the route running until March, aviation data shows. Air Koryo used three different aircraft to conduct a total of four flights to Shanghai in April, May, June and November, following the airline’s first flight to the city in five years in late 2024, according to NK News analysis of Flightradar24 data. The lack of regular air service to Shanghai runs counter to an official “schedule for regular flights” on display at Air Koryo’s ticket office in © Korea Risk Group. All rights reserved. |
