Korean Air aerospace unit aims for more commercial workshare

Korean Air’s aerospace unit intends to expand its collaboration with Boeing by securing increased workshare across various programs as the manufacturer ramps up production of the 777X and continues development of the 777-300ER. The company's focus is shifting towards supporting Boeing’s growth, particularly concerning key initiatives like the 787 program where Korean Air remains a significant supplier. Despite considerable involvement in the 777-300ER project, the unit has largely been excluded from 777X activities at this time. Historically, Korean Air has maintained a strong partnership with Boeing, leveraging their established relationship for mutual benefit. This strategic move reflects an effort to diversify revenue streams and capitalize on Boeing’s expanding aerospace footprint.
