The aircraft washed that day was a Boeing 777-300ER, registration HL8008, which features Korean Air's new livery. Six pieces of specialized equipment were mobilized for the cleaning, and over a total of three hours, the fuselage, main wings, tail wings, and cockpit windshield were washed.

In this livery renewal, Korean Air enhanced its signature sky blue color with a metallic effect for a more luxurious appearance. The company also developed a new dedicated paint. The exterior of aircraft coated with this paint sparkles as it reflects external light, offering a unique look depending on the viewing angle and the amount of light.

A Korean Air official stated, "We regularly wash the fuselage to provide a pleasant service and ensure safe operations," adding, "By removing contaminants such as yellow dust?which can corrode the aircraft surface and dull the paint?as well as eliminating layers of foreign substances that form on the exterior, we are improving operational efficiency."
