Korean Air hosts ‘Parents Invitation Programme

Korean Air hosted 'Parents Invitation Programme' after a five-year hiatus, with the inaugural session commencing on September 27 at the airline's headquarters in Seoul's Gangseo District. Approximately 60 participants, including employees and their parents, attended the session, which featured tours of key facilities such as the Operations & Customer Center (OCC), Aviation Medical Center, Flight Training Center, and the in-house hangar.

Over the course of three months, Korean Air will host a total of three sessions, accommodating 60 families comprising approximately 180 participants. This initiative is designed to provide employees' parents with firsthand experience of their children's work environment, fostering a deeper understanding of Korean Air's operations.

A key feature of the program was the Flight Training Center visit, where participants experienced the Flight Training Device (FTD), an advanced pilot training simulator. Participants had the opportunity to operate cockpit controls, gaining insight into the complexities of aircraft operation.

"The program represents a step in our ongoing efforts to foster a strong, interconnected Korean Air community and strengthen our corporate culture," said Donghyeok Shin, Corporate Communications Manager, Korean Air. "By inviting our employees' parents to experience our operations firsthand, we hope to build trust, express gratitude, and instil a sense of pride in our extended Korean Air family."

The Parents Invitation Programme aligns with Korean Air's commitment to corporate social responsibility and employee engagement. The airline also operates various family-oriented initiatives, including Family Day events, enrollment gifts for elementary school-bound children, and orientation sessions for college-bound students. These programmes reflect Korean Air's recognition of the crucial role employees' families play in supporting the airline's operations and success.
