Korean Air

Korean Air is a major South Korean airline, part of the Hanjin Group, operating both domestic and international flights. Recent news highlights several issues concerning the airline and the broader South Korean aviation industry. Firstly, Korean Air and other Hanjin Group carriers have banned the in-flight use of power banks, aligning with growing safety concerns regarding lithium batteries. Secondly, the airline's uniform policy has come under fire for requiring flight attendants to wear thin clothing even in freezing weather, raising concerns about their health and well-being. Finally, a police manhunt is underway following an anonymous online threat of a "suicide flight" over Seoul's Gimpo International Airport, motivated by resentment over the merger between South Korea's two largest airlines, impacting security measures and raising anxieties about potential disruptions.
