increasing service to Phnom Penh.
Korean Air also will restore some service to Europe and
North America. In Europe, the carrier will up weekly service to Paris and
London and restore some service to Frankfurt and Amsterdam. In North America,
Korean Air will restore some service to Washington, DC, Seattle, Vancouver and
Toronto and increase service to Atlanta and Chicago. It will keep seven weekly
