Direct flights between Busan and Dubai could begin as early as 2027. The city of Busan says it’s working with Emirates on a route from Gimhae International Airport, after the airline opened a new Busan office in Jung-gu.

The key details:

Target: Emirates’ summer 2027 schedule
Plan: four flights a week
Distance: about 7,000 km, which would make it the longest route from Gimhae, ahead of the Busan to Bali route (about 5,070 km)
Connections: Dubai links to destinations across Europe, Africa and the Middle East

This isn’t confirmed yet. The city announced the plan on November 2 and is still in talks with the airline.
