Plus, read more about South Korea from one Sun Writer who went there last year ON THE UP ON THE UP The new airline launching in one of Asia's set-to-be-big holiday destinations – and could start flights to the UK A NEW airline is launching its first flight in one of the top trending Asian destinations this year. Parata Air is a South Korean low-cost airline that has plans to operate between Gimpo, Jeju, and Yangyang starting later this month - and has revealed plans for flights to Europe too.

The airline's first aircraft is an A330-200 model which has the potential to fly long-distance routes to the likes of Europe and North America. Currently, Parata Airlines has lease agreements for a total of four aircraft. These are two Airbus A330-200s and two Airbus A320-200s - its aim is to operate short-haul, as well as medium-to-long-haul flights from Seoul. Advertisement Along with its domestic routes, Parata Air aims to launch international routes from Incheon to Japan and Vietnam. Talking to Maeil Business Newspaper, Yoon Chul-min, CEO of Parata Airlines, said, "Based on our top priority, safety first, we will create differentiated values with punctuality and service that we have devoted our heart to. "We need to become an airline that makes us expect excitement and pleasure and become a new challenger in the aviation market." Parata Air was formerly known as Fly Gangwon which ceased operations in May 2023 after financial difficulty.

While they haven't officially confirmed UK flights, Europe could be one of the long haul destinations, especially as Korean culture becomes more popularised.

The good news for UK citizens is that you can enter South Korea without a visa for up to 90 days. Previously, Brits had to pay for the K-ETA, a visa waiver, but this has been scrapped until December 31, 2025. Even then the price of the waiver is just 10,000 KRW which equates to £5.43.

The expansion to the Asian country will also allow connecting routes to destination like Japan, Vietnam and China. If you don't want to go as far as South Korea - here's a London suburb that's been compared to it with restaurants and karaoke bars. And more on the world's best airline, Korean Air that has new onboard suites and a unique 'honeymoon mode'. Advertisement One Sun Travel Writer visited South Korea last year and here's what she found... Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey visited South Korea last year where she visited the capital city as well as Gyeongbokgung Palace. The country's capital city lies just 35 miles from the border with North Korea. Start early and visit Gyeongbokgung Palace - we were there by 9am in time for the 10am changing of the guard performance, a 20-minute event that recreates the original ceremony. A bottle of local beer can be found for just a few pounds - and we made sure to add some soju, a local rice wine, to your beer too. And a visit to Korea is nothing without a K-pop dance class, where we danced to New Jeans at Frzm Studio, before partying into the early morning at a karaoke booth, also known as noraebang. The second largest city in South Korea is Busan, found on the south coast. Yet is is easy to get to, with a day trip from Seoul simple thanks to a high speed train taking between 2-3 hours. And Instagrammers can rejoice thanks to the Gamcheon Culture Village, dubbed the Machu Picchu of Korea due to the many multicoloured, photogenic houses lining the cliff side.

Trump hits Brazil and India with hefty tariffs over decisions he doesn't like
LAST UPDATE | 30 Jul THE US PRESIDENT has issued massive blanket tariffs on India and Brazil as Donald Trump falls out with the leaders of two of the largest global economies. Trump this evening announced a 25% tariff and an as-yet unspecified 'penalty' against India in retaliation against it purchasing weapons and energy from Russia. The tariff rate is lower than previously announced, but higher when compared to other Asian countries. India, the world's most populous country, was one of the first major economies to engage the White House in broader trade talks, but negotiations have now collapsed after India's reluctance to fully open its agricultural and other sectors. Speaking this evening, Trump said that while India is a 'friend' of the US, its current tariffs on US exports are 'too high'. He also accused the country of continuing to purchase weapons from Russia, which is continuing its brutal invasion of Ukraine. Advertisement Trump has signalled he intends to tighten US pressure on Moscow to halt fighting in Ukraine and negotiate a peace deal. Yesterday, he gave Russian President Vladimir Putin ten days to change course in Ukraine or face new tariffs. Despite the tariff threat, India said it was committed to continuing negotiations on 'a fair, balanced and mutually beneficial bilateral trade agreement'. Tariffs on Brazil and sanctions on judge Elsewhere today, Trump imposed Brazil with 50% tariffs to pressure the country to stop the trial of far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is accused of coup charges. Trump has termed the trial a 'witch hunt'. The US this morning also announced sanctions on a judge overseeing the case against Bolsonaro. The Brazillian government said the American decision was 'arbitrary and unjustifiable'. With reporting by AFP 2025 Readers like you are keeping these stories free for everyone...

Remediation continues 20 years on at former Carlow sugar factory
Food company Greencore has said remediation works are still ongoing on the site of the former Carlow sugar factory, 20 years after the plant closed. In a statement, it said once the works are complete, it will then consider future options for the land, including a sale of the site. It comes as local politicians call on the company to outline what it plans to do with the land. The plant, which first opened in 1926, operated for 80 years before it closed in 2005. Most of the traces of its past have been demolished, but the lime kiln remains in place. People Before Profit councillor Adrienne Wallace is one of those seeking clarity. "This is an iconic and unique site for Carlow," she said. "It really captures the rich history we have here ... It encompasses and holds a lot of value for a lot of people here in Carlow, so it's frustrating that 20 years on, we've seen little development. It has a huge amount of potential." At one stage, there had been talk of a new business park on the site, and 3,000 homes, but none of that materialised. "I don't see why they can't do something down here in terms of residential," said Cllr Wallace. "In terms of playgrounds, heritage site, there's so much potential here, and yet it's just been left to rot in the hands of Greencore. We really want to get behind this site and really bring it back to some sort of use for Carlow," she said. In a statement, Greencore said the lands are subject to a licence from the Environmental Protection Agency, and that ongoing remediations works are taking place in accordance with that. It said that "It is not possible to say for certain how long it will take to complete these works", and that it was aiming to finish them "as soon as possible", adding that there is no toxic waste on the site. It said it will then consider future options for the land, including a sale of the site. It added, however, that Greencore also owns other ex-Irish Sugar properties in the area, which are advertised for sale but that these properties have to date attracted limited interest from buyers due to planning constraints. The company also said the lime kiln, which is listed as a protected structure by the council, is in a state of disrepair, is potentially unsafe and "cannot be touched". It said that impacts the "potential future options for the site". The EPA said while production has ceased and the plant has been demolished, the company has not to date applied for surrender of the licence. In a statement, the agency also said all hazardous waste identified has been removed and the company continues to carry out groundwater and surface water monitoring. Greencore has said it is in the process of seeking to remove the EPA licence from areas of the site. "I'm curious to what they are cleaning up," said Cllr Wallace. "The EPA have said that there's no toxic waste on the site anymore ... a lot more detail needs to be given on exactly what they're clearing out how they're clearing it up, and how long that is going to take," she said. The sugar factory was once described as the 'beating heart of Carlow town', and its closure after 80 years was a blow for the area. Local historian Christopher Power recently published a book on the history of the plant and the impact it had. "Its heyday started immediately, it can't be overemphasised. It was an extraordinary concept in the new Ireland after the civil war, to create an industry from scratch in basically a bankrupt country," he said. "There was a great deal of anger and a terrible shock at the time when it went... I would say it probably had the most profound effect in the long term on farmers, because obviously the demand for sugar beet as a crop was gone to a great degree," he added. "I suppose things have moved on... people who worked there... time has marched on and quite a few have gone. "There certainly are generations now have not heard of it, and Carlow would have profoundly changed as well in in those 20 years... but certainly it is one of the main things people associate Carlow with still." He also spoke of the positive legacy the plant left behind. "It had a really tremendous effect on a whole lot of different industries, and a lot of the spin off industries that were created are still here. "For example, Carlow RTC really is a direct result of the factory." Christopher Power said the smell of sugar that used to hang over the town is now well gone. The land on which it stood though remains. Locals in the area seemingly want activity returned. "It has great history in Carlow, so just to see something being developed on it would be good for the town," one woman said. "If they could build a housing estate on it for the needy and the homeless, and don't leave it lying idle, derelict... utilise it," said another resident.
