Anyone know why PHL has no asian airlines?
OZ is a Korea based company. They serve areas with large Korean population. There are Korean ppl living in PA, sure... but it isn't nearly the size necessary to support a route.
Places like IAD (DC+VA area with 3rd highest ethnic Korean population in USA) or even like ATL (major Korean businesses and 6th highest ethnic Korean pop in USA) would be more suitable choice.
Most logical reason for why not to these places, is stated above. OZ doesn't have enough long haul birds in its fleet to support all these 13-14 hr routes.
Only thing i ask for from OZ, in that case, is to better coordinate with its *A partners so i don't have to wait at JFK for 5-7 hrs, when i am flying out of BWI
