As I was about to board a China Eastern flight MU5087 to Seoul Incheon, I found out that in a little over two hours’ time, another flight, JS252, would go to Pyongyang. I doubt many airports on this planet can claim to fly to both Seoul and Pyongyang…anyway, quite an amusing sight.
Of course, the airline code, JS, refers to Air Koryo, DPRK’s flag carrier.
Update: I just read that, starting in January 2008, Air China will launch a new (and what is presently the only) commercial service to Pyongyang. Click here for the story.
