This isn’t the first time Moscow and Pyongyang have been linked by air. In fact, flights between the two capitals have been operating intermittently since the late 1950’s. Aircraft such as the Ilyushin Il-12 were initially used, needing frequent stops enroute for refuelling. With the introduction of the mid-range jetliner Tupolev Tu-154B in the 1970’s, the cities finally were linked with non-stop flights by the North Korean flag carrier Air Koryo (JS/KOR). During the Soviet era, Aeroflot (SU/AFL) also regularly operated flights between the two capitals, carrying diplomats, aid workers, and trade delegations. Those flights got increasingly less common in the 1990s, as Russia turned westward after the fall of the Soviet Union and North Korea grew increasingly isolated.
The revival of this route in 2025 marks the first consistent air service between the two capitals in nearly three decades. While limited to one round-trip per month, its symbolism obviously reaches far beyond its schedule.
