More than 200 people attended the event, including Joon-tae Cho, Chairman of Hanjin Group; Woo Ki-hong, Vice Chairman of Korean Air; Song Bo-young, CEO of Asiana Airlines; Yoo Jong-seok, Executive Vice President of Safety and Health and Operations at Korean Air; Ha Eun-yong, Executive Vice President of Finance at Korean Air; Jang Sung-hyun, Executive Vice President of Marketing and IT at Korean Air; Choi Jeong-ho, Executive Vice President of Sales at Korean Air; as well as other key executives and staff from relevant departments.

Chairman Cho emphasized, "In the aviation industry, safety is the highest value that cannot be exchanged for anything else and the top priority that everyone must uphold together," adding, "I hope this event serves as an opportunity for both companies to unite in their unwavering commitment to absolute safety."

This year's event slogan, "One Team, One Safety," reflects the determination of all employees to establish a culture of safety in their daily work environment as the two airlines prepare for integration. It also demonstrates the intention to strengthen cooperation among those responsible for aviation and industrial safety and health, and to motivate further engagement in safety-related work.

In addition, Korean Air held "Safety Week" from October 27 to 31 this year, following last year's initiative. Safety booths were set up at the headquarters, Asiana Airlines headquarters (Town), Incheon International Airport, and the Busan Tech Center, featuring exhibitions of outstanding risk improvement cases, a four-cut photo booth, safety quizzes, and hands-on safety experiences in which all employees could participate.

Since 2023, Korean Air has designated the last Friday of October each year as "Safety Day" to commemorate October 30, the anniversary of the first domestic commercial flight and "Aviation Day," and to reaffirm its commitment to spreading a culture of safety throughout the company.
