According to a Reuters report, Korean Air announced on the 25th that it has ordered 103 Boeing aircraft in the United States. This will be the largest order in the history of South Korea's aviation industry. This news was announced during South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol's visit to the United States.
According to sources previously told Reuters, the order is expected to include Boeing's "787", "777", and "737". Boeing Commercial Airplanes CEO Stephanie Pope and Korean Air CEO Cho Won-tae attended the event with U.S. Commerce Secretary Raimondo to announce the agreement.
On that day, President Yoon met with former President Trump for the first time at the White House.
Korean Air also announced a $1.37 billion engine procurement and maintenance contract with GE Aviation.
According to one official, part of the order will be used for equipment upgrades for its subsidiary Asiana Airlines.
Many countries conducting trade negotiations with the Trump administration have announced or will announce large orders for Boeing aircraft. In recent months, Boeing has won a series of major orders.
