Korean Air

Korean Air, South Korea's largest airline, is currently facing several challenges and changes. A lawsuit has been filed against them in the US following the death of a passenger on a flight from Washington to Incheon. Simultaneously, the airline is undertaking a significant expansion, with a confirmed purchase of 103 Boeing aircraft for approximately $36.2 billion, marking the largest aviation contract in South Korean history. However, security concerns have arisen due to a threat of a "suicide flight" related to the merger of the country's two largest airlines, prompting a police investigation. Additionally, the airline is facing scrutiny regarding the thin uniforms worn by flight attendants in cold weather, raising questions about employee welfare. Furthermore, Korean Air is affected by restrictions on power bank usage on flights, and potentially by jet fuel shortages in Asia.
