[Asia Economy Reporter Dongwoo Lee] Korean Air announced on the 27th that it has been selected as a "5-star airline," the highest rating in the COVID-19 safety level evaluation by Skytrax, a world-renowned airline rating organization.


Korean Air was also selected as a 5-star airline in the same organization's evaluation last year. The 5-star airline rating represents the highest level of safety, with well-established quarantine programs that allow passengers to board with confidence.


Regarding this result, Korean Air explained that various safety activities, including the integrated quarantine program "Care First," which has been in operation since August last year to ensure customers' safe air travel, received high evaluations for enabling passengers to fly with peace of mind.


Woo Ki-hong, President of Korean Air, said, "We are pleased to receive the 5-star rating certification in Skytrax's COVID-19 'Airline Safety Rating,' which focuses on evaluating airlines' safety, cleanliness, and quarantine efforts. Through the Care First program, Korean Air actively communicates with customers regarding quarantine activities while also strengthening the protection of safety for both customers and employees."



Korean Air has created a Care First program information page on its website to comprehensively guide various quarantine activities. Through this page, passengers can check the quarantine measures implemented by Korean Air at each stage of air travel, such as in-flight disinfection, activation of contactless check-in, passenger fever screening, social distancing between passengers, enhanced hygiene of in-flight meals, and the latest information related to immigration.
