South Korea and the Czech Republic have agreed to increase bilateral passenger air traffic rights to a maximum of 10 flights per week, the South Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport confirmed Thursday.
The deal expands the existing framework for air services between the two nations, allowing carriers from both countries to operate more frequent direct or connecting services.
The increase in traffic rights is designed to boost passenger connectivity and support growing trade and tourism ties between Seoul and Central Europe.
This development follows a broader strategy by South Korea to strengthen its aviation network with European partners.
Earlier this week, the transport ministry confirmed a similar agreement with Algeria to establish direct air services and designate traffic rights, signaling Seoul's intent to diversify its international air links beyond traditional Western European hubs.
The expansion of air rights comes as global aviation networks continue to adjust to post-pandemic demand patterns and geopolitical shifts in trade routes.
