During a recent employee appreciation event,
Korean Air unveiled a Boeing
777-300ER aircraft featuring the names of its over 20,000 staff
worldwide.
Painted on the sides of the plane’s classic
livery are the phrases “Our Pride” and “We are Korean Air” along
with thousands of names of the airline’s employees from around the
globe.
The aircraft joins Korean Air’s fleet of 25 Boeing
777-300ERs and will fly on multiple long-haul routes to Europe,
the Americas and Australia, among others.
The aircraft was
introduced at Korean Air’s Family Day weekend, which took place 29-30
April,
where close to 9,000 airline employees and their families were treated to food trucks, cotton candy stands, massage chairs, photo
booths and play zones at the airline’s Seoul Gimpo hangar.
Children also participated in safety sessions, including hands-on
CPR sessions hosted by Korean Air’s in-house Aeromedical Center.
Stars from the Korean Air Jumbos volleyball team were
also there to take pictures with fans and hand out autographed
volleyballs.
Korean Air organized the event to recognize
its employees’ resolve and hard work and to provide an opportunity
for family members and friends to better understand the airline.
