Korean Air Finalizes 103-Jet Boeing Order
A signing ceremony took place in Seoul on September 15, attended by company executives and government officials from South Korea and the United States, completing a procurement plan first announced in Washington, D.C. in August 2025.
The agreements cover USD 36.2 billion for 103 Boeing jets, comprising 20 777-9Xs, 25 787-10 Dreamliners, 50 737-10s, and eight 777-8F freighters.
Korean Air also signed deals worth about USD 8.6 billion with GE Aerospace and CFM International for 21 spare engines and 15-year maintenance coverage for 28 aircraft.
Walter Cho, CEO of Korean Air and Chairman of Hanjin Group, called the finalization of the Washington agreements a proud moment for the airline, describing it as a testament to the trust and alliance between South Korea and the United States.
The carrier said the investment will ensure a stable, long-term fleet induction schedule and support capacity growth as it prepares for its planned integration with Asiana Airlines in December.
