About Air Koryo

Air Koryo, established in 1955 as Korean Airways, is North Korea's state-owned flag carrier and sole commercial airline. Operating from its hub at Pyongyang Sunan International Airport, it offers scheduled flights to Beijing, Shenyang, and Vladivostok, as well as charter services to various destinations. The airline's fleet comprises Ilyushin and Tupolev aircraft from the Soviet era, along with Antonov models from the Soviet Union and Ukraine. Despite operating under international sanctions and facing challenges due to its aging fleet, Air Koryo remains a vital link between North Korea and the outside world, serving both governmental and limited commercial needs.
