Korean Air, South Korea’s leading airline, announced a partnership with GE Aerospace to implement their Safety Insight flight data monitoring system across its massive fleet. 

According to GE Aerospace, Safety Insight signifies a significant upgrade for Korean Air’s safety protocols by leveraging advanced analytics, automation, and high-fidelity data processing to provide a comprehensive overview of their flight operations. This translates to improved safety measures, enhanced operational efficiency, and data-driven decision making.

GE Aerospace’s Event Measurement System (EMS) and Flight Analytics solutions are at the core of Safety Insight. EMS provides Korean Air with a detailed understanding of in-flight events, while Flight Analytics facilitates the refinement of operational practices and data flow management.

By integrating Safety Insight, Korean Air positions itself for continued leadership in aviation safety and operational excellence. This partnership between Korean Air and GE Aerospace promises to propel Korean Air’s standing in the competitive airline industry.

Korean Air’s roots can be traced back to 1946 with the founding of Korean National Airlines. In 1962, the South Korean government acquired the airline and renamed it Korean Air Lines, making it state-owned. On March 1, 1969, when the Hanjin Group, a major Korean conglomerate, acquired Korean Air Lines. This marked the birth of Korean Air as we know it today. Korean Air has grown to be South Korea’s flag carrier and largest airline, boasting a vast network of international destinations.
