Korean Air celebrates its 55th anniversary in Seoul

Korean Air marked its 55th anniversary this March, with Walter Cho, Korean Air’s Chairman and CEO, addressing the entire team in a commemorative message. He praised the team for their achievements and dedication, urging them to unite ahead of the Asiana merger. The 55th-anniversary ceremony took place on March 4 at the airline’s headquarters in Seoul, where it recognized its employees.

“From our humble beginnings, we’ve embarked on a remarkable journey,” said Cho in his message to the team. “The Korean Air team’s dedication has propelled the airline from modest beginnings to become a beacon of excellence in the global aviation industry.”

Cho praised the dedication of the airline’s predecessors, the loyalty of its passengers and the trust that the airline has cultivated within its community.

Cho expressed confidence in the team’s skills and commented: “It is with this strength that the future of Korean Air is set to outshine our past achievements.”

Cho's message largely focused on the strategic acquisition of Asiana Airlines.

“As we draw this long and deliberative journey to a close, we find ourselves at the cusp of a new chapter in our history,” he said. “Korean Air aspires to be more than a major carrier; we aim to be the airline of choice, synonymous with trust, safety, and unparalleled service that makes every passenger feel at home. By fostering collaboration across departments—operations, customer service, maintenance, and more—we enhance our vigilance and efficiency, allowing us to maintain our commitment to absolute safety and a customer-centric approach.”
