Woo Gi-hong will be appointed vice president of Korean Air. It has been 6 years since a vice president was appointed at Korean Air.
According to the airline industry on the 17th, Korean Air plans to promote President Woo to vice president in its regular executive appointment scheduled for January next year.
Korean Air created the vice president position in 2018 to strengthen its professional management system, but it has been vacant since Vice President Seok Tae-soo stepped down in November 2019.
The promotion of President Woo was mentioned directly by Cho Won-tae, chairman of Hanjin Group, during a group staff meeting held the previous day (16th).
A Korean Air official noted, "This promotion is due to leading the merger with Asiana Airlines."
