AirlineRatings.com Editor-in-Chief Geoffrey Thomas said that “Korean Air has been at the forefront of addressing the global cargo capacity shortages and was a pioneer in converting passenger aircraft to freighters, and is currently operating an average of 1,000 cargo-only passenger flights per month.”
Korean Air also achieved a 4th placed ranking in AirlineRatings.com Top Twenty achieving very high scores in passenger reviews and satisfaction.
“Last year the airline did not make our Top Twenty but a dramatic upswing in passenger feedback saw the airline leap into the top class of airlines,” Mr Thomas said.
The airline also has a young fleet of state-of-the-art aircraft fleet built around the 787 and 777 for long-haul flights and Airbus A330, A320 and A220 for short-haul.
