1About Korean Air

Korean Air is the largest airline in South Korea and one of the most prominent carriers in Asia. It operates domestic flights from Gimpo Airport and international flights from Incheon International Airport, connecting to major cities worldwide. Initially established as a state-owned enterprise, it was privatized in 1969, with Cho Choong-Hoon, the founder of the Hanjin Group, becoming the first chairman. In 1975, Korean Air launched its first passenger flights, marking the beginning of its journey as a global airline. Over the years, it has steadily expanded its operations, solidifying its position as a leader in the aviation industry.
