Amid tourism boost, North Korea confirms domestic flights resumption

Increase in domestic and international flights hint at increased tourism, despite recent arrests

North Korean state airline Air Koryo has confirmed that it is resuming domestic flight services, as part of roster of changes that the DPRK hopes will boost tourist numbers.

According to a promotional advert in the Pyongyang Times on Tuesday, domestic flights will resume in mid-July and will consist of three separate routes to the cities of Sondok, Orang and Samjiyon. Flights to each city will take place once a week with all flights will originate from the capital Pyongyang.
