Korean Air, a founding member of Skyteam, is the leading South Korean airline in Italy and the first airline partner of the Volare frequent flyer program.

The Seoul-based operator, attentive to market demand, operates daily flights to 100 destinations worldwide through its main hub at Incheon International Airport (ICN). This partnership with ITA Airways will guarantee Volare members extensive domestic and international connectivity between the two capitals.

When flying with Korean Air, as an alliance carrier, Skyteam Elite Plus members will be able to take advantage of SkyPriority services including priority check-in and boarding, additional baggage drop-off and drop-off, preferential access at transit counters and security checkpoint.

ITA Airways customers can also earn miles on Korean Air operated flights. Members need only register their Volare frequent flyer number at the time of booking to earn points in the Italian airline’s loyalty program.
