Hi, please help me.
"South Korea will launch a direct rail service between Incheon international airport and Seoul station on Wednesday. The government hopes the move will increase the airport's convenience and competitiveness.
On Tuesday, about 700 people attended a ceremony at Seoul station to mark the opening of the 60-kilometer rail link built by Korea Railroad.
Prime Minister Kim Hwang Sik said Incheon will develop as a hub for northeastern Asia and help further boost South Korea's international standing.
There have been no direct rail services linking the airport with central Seoul until now.
Air travelers have had to use buses or subway, which take about 70 minutes. The new train operates at about 6-minute intervals, with a travel time of around 45 minutes."
It is the first direct rail service linking Incheon international airport and Seoul station. In other words, it is the only direct rail service linking between the airport and the station. So I think "a" should be replaced with "the": "South Korea will launch the direct rail service between..." Because I learned "the" is generally put in front of the one and only in the world, for example the sun, the moon, and so forth.
