Air France KLM Martinair Cargo (AFKLMP Cargo) has announced the launch of a new dedicated Boeing 747-400 freighter service between Amsterdam Airport Schiphol (AMS) and Seoul–Incheon International Airport (ICN), South Korea.
The new service is scheduled to commence at the start of the Summer 2026 season on March 30, 2026, further strengthening AFKLMP Cargo’s network in Northeast Asia and marking its return to the South Korean main deck cargo market.
The AMS–ICN freighter will operate three times per week and will be integrated into a rotation via Hong Kong (HKG).
As part of this development, AFKLMP Cargo will increase its dedicated freighter frequencies to Hong Kong from five to six weekly flights, enhancing connectivity between two of Asia’s most important cargo gateways and offering customers greater flexibility and capacity options.
Incheon’s addition to the freighter network reflects growing customer demand and the increasing strategic importance of South Korea as a global logistics and manufacturing hub.
The new service provides dedicated, scalable main deck capacity independent of passenger operations, supporting high-value, time-critical, and specialised cargo flows between Europe and Northeast Asia.
Pierre-Olivier Bandet, Executive Vice President Cargo at Air France-KLM, says: “The economic corridors between Europe and South Korea are among the most dynamic in the world.
“With this new freighter service, we reinforce our position in Northeast Asia and offer our customers increased reliability, flexibility, and access to dedicated main deck capacity.”
Via its Amsterdam hub, the new service offers connectivity to key markets across Europe, Africa and the Americas through Air France, KLM and Delta’s extensive network.
