Delta Air Lines will resume flights from Atlanta to Seoul on Saturday, adding to the options for travel to Asia.

Atlanta-based Delta previously flew the route but discontinued it in 2009 amid a global recession.

The daily flights are part of an expanded partnership between Delta and Korean Air, which also flies the route with its own jets.
