Korean Air

Korean Air, a prominent South Korean airline and part of the Hanjin Group, is currently newsworthy due to a confluence of issues. Recently, Hanjin Group, encompassing five carriers including Korean Air, announced a ban on the use of power banks during flights, aligning with other airlines and prompting travel advisories. Simultaneously, the airline's treatment of flight attendants has come under scrutiny, with concerns raised about the inadequate winter uniforms provided, leaving them exposed to harsh weather conditions. Furthermore, a police manhunt is underway following an online threat of a "suicide flight" over Seoul's Gimpo International Airport, allegedly motivated by resentment over the planned merger between Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. These events highlight operational changes, employee welfare concerns, and security challenges facing the airline.
