Aviation photos taken on my trip to Korea

Recommended Posts

Hi there, just returned from my trip to Korea. As usual, I had taken some aviation photography that I think is worth to share. No professional photographer nor good camera here. Just some hit and run photos.

 

Looking around...

Looks like the first few pics were taken at Gimpo International Airport, the former international airport for Seoul.

 

When I first landed there in 1998 enroute to KIX, it was still the international airport, our KE A330-300 had to park at the tarmac as it was pretty congested. Then I caught KE's B747-300 to KIX :)

Thanks for sharing the photos! Looks like KE still operating A300-600s;There's one A300-600 (HL7242) painted in special color,named 'Harbi' to promote Jeju-do (Jeju Island),but the 'Harbi' livery is already removed from the aircraft.

 

My guess for your flight;Seoul-Gimpo(GMP)-Jeju(CJU)-Seoul-Incheon(ICN).Am i right?

With Multiclients by any chance ?

Yup, sharp eyes you got there SV, some of the photos on top are from Gimpo Intl, somehow those photos seems to rearrange themselves when I upload, so it mess up with the timeline.

 

My flight were from

BKI >A330-200> Incheon >Bus> Gimpo >A300-600> Jeju >A300-600> Gimpo >Bus> Incheon >A330-200> BKI

 

Flight from KKIA to Incheon was KE674, around 12am on 20/12/2009

while the returning flight was KE673, around 6pm (+9 GMT)on 26/12/2009

Thank you !

 

(Apologies in advance for the horrendous reflections, glares and unprofessional point and shoot pics !)

 

First off, I believe this would have been your ride waiting for you at gate 4

What was to be OZ758 making her way to gate 3. Same thing after all these years, those $^%#!#@ tiang lampu's :)

OZ8909 waiting for us at Gimpo, for a short hop to Jeju

Earlyish morning on 22 Dec, OZ8902 waiting to ferry us back to Gimpo

Quite busy traffic that morning at Jeju

Back at Gimpo, getting ready for Seoul !

OZ757 waiting to bring us home. After seven long days, the apathy is quite evident, not that the windows at Incheon helped much :)

Yes, KE is operating A330-200 on 23, 26, 27 and 29DEC09 due to the high season.

 

Promotional fare was released late due to last minutes upgrade. Hopefully KE will upgrade the flight this coming CNY. ^^

 

I enjoy seeing all those KE/OZ photos. Thank you for sharing.

Just a bit of advertisment here...... :drinks:

 

Anyone want to visit Korea this coming CNY?

If yes, make your choice with Korean Air. They are using 747 instead of 737 for this coming CNY.

 

For more information, ask you local travel agent. ^^

 

Cheers!

Hope you mean the BKI-SEL route, Yoong, as we definitely booked KE ex AMS to fly the 332 and 772/773 as our connecting flights to/from SGN...

 

BTW, there are 2 KE TR's on A.net of an AMS-MAD-AMS flight, by 2 different A.nutters; check it out, and you'll be able to see the KE-service... :pardon:

That is one heck of an increase in capacity over a half month period ! :yahoo:

Any particular reason you can put a finger on ?

Do the Koreans do a CNY exodus like the Chinese ?

Come to think of it, do Koreans even observe the lunar new year ?! :)

 

Interesting to see if Asiana also put on extra capacity

 

MH - well maybe if response is good this year, next year think about it lah ! :p

Korean celebrate the same New Year as the Chinese and Winter Festival too.

They celebrate the lunar calender birthday instead of the international calender.

Most of the ads I saw in the newspaper these few weeks featured tours to places in Mainland China only. Boring a bit leh...

 

Btw, got a few friends just came back from Korea and they were telling me it's freezing cold over there -14 degree Celcius.
