Korean Air has made headlines with its record-breaking order of 103 Boeing aircraft, coinciding with South Korean President Lee Jae Myung's visit to Washington. This order marks the largest in the airline's history and includes a mix of Boeing 787s, 777s, and 737s.
The announcement came during an event attended by Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope, Korean Air CEO Cho Won-tae, and U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick. In addition to the Boeing order, Korean Air has also formed a $13.7 billion agreement with GE Aerospace for the purchase and maintenance of aircraft engines.
