On March 1, 1969, Korean Air began as a small airline in Asia, with only eight aircraft. “To be a respected leader in the world airline community”. This is the vision we announced in 2004. Under the slogan “Excellence in Flight,” we have sought to offer our customers safer and more distinctive services than any other airline in the world.

In 2019, Korean Air celebrated its 50th anniversary. With the love of our customers and the trust of our nation, Korean Air has risen to greater heights as a leading global airline. We will never forget that our roots lie in the support and trust of our customers, who have called us the “Wings of the People” for the past half century.

Korean Air is taking the next step and flying toward another 100 years. We will be reborn as the “Wings of the World” and will contribute to creating a better society for all. Under the core values of “safety” and “customer satisfaction,” we will continue to do our utmost to make Korean Air an airline everyone wants to fly with, as a respected leader in the global airline industry.
