They have pulled out of Helsinki and Luxembourg, both were served with 744F seperately.
Strange, never saw them in LUX before....:confused:

They were flying once weekly Seoul-Helsinki-Luxembourg till 2004, and the city was also listed on their cargo routemap in the previous site which has now been revamped.

As far as I know Helsinki wasn't a scheduled destination but charter (traffic rights issues).
Newscaster; I'm happy to be corrected, but I've never seen KE here (that's not to say they never came). I vaguely remember something about traffic rights a couple of years ago. Could have been scheduled to HEL then charter to LUX? I don't think it ever operated but will ask the handling agent here, they'd know. Asiana did operate to LUX, in co-op with Cargolux. That also ended in the meantime.
Matatu: Anything I missed?

I'm not sure about the futher routing ex HEL but last year KE flown a weekly (or so) charter ICN-HEL, mainly Nokia stuff... They've been looking to do that scheduled but Finns have refused the traffic rights (although I don't know more details, but that's what I've been told by major players on Finnish cargo market).
