Hanseo University President Ham Kiseon stated, "Through this agreement, we will do our best to develop customized educational programs necessary for training technical personnel and to operate field-oriented education, so that we can develop into a model of exemplary cooperation between companies and specialized universities."

Hanseo University is the only university in Asia with its own runway and is recognized as a leading aviation-specialized university in South Korea, equipped with the nation's top-level aviation-focused educational infrastructure and a wide range of majors.
