Founded in 1969, Korean Air is the national flag carrier for South Korea, operating scheduled flights to 129 cities in 46 countries worldwide, including 12 cities in Korea. Korean Air operates a modern fleet, comprising over 150 aircraft, ranging from the Boeing 737-800 to the Airbus 380.
The airline was the founding member of SkyTeam, the global airline alliance, and prides itself on its ‘excellence in flight,’ and is well recognised for being a leader in the aviation industry.
Korean Air is rated amongst the top 20 airlines in the world in terms of passengers carried and has won numerous awards. Korean Air is a preferred career choice for pilots due to the pay conditions, commuting, roster and the professional operation of the airline.

Flying the Boeing 777 for Korean Air is a most enjoyable and satisfying way to earn a living. Rishworth acts professionally and when any contractual issues arise they are dealt with promptly and effectively. I highly recommend Rishworth.
