Asiana Airlines, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this year

Now it’s time to meet one of Korea’s most noted companies. This week I bring you a story on Asiana Airlines, which celebrates 20th anniversary this year. Asiana Airlines started flying domestic with only one airplane in 1988. The entrance of Asiana Airlines into the Korean airline business signaled the new era of multiple civil aviation companies. Up until then there was only one private airliner operating in Korea – the Korean Air. Twenty years later Asiana serves 65 cities in 17 countries around the globe, right up there with the world’s leading airliners. In marking the past two decades of phenomenal growth, Asiana is readying itself for another spectacular takeoff into the next two decades. Here is Assistant Manager of the PR team Cho Yong-moo to tell us about what Asiana is doing to mark this auspicious occasion.
