KE Way’: Strengthening Korean Air’s Global Identity and 56-Year Legacy

In conjunction with the festivities, Korean Air also launched “KE Way,” a corporate value system intended to link employees with the strategic vision of the company. The action underscores sustainable growth and overseas expansion as priorities par excellence.

Lying at the core of KE Way is Korean Air’s newly adopted purpose statement, “Connecting for a better world.” This reflects the carrier’s mission to connect the world while respecting Hanjin Group’s transportation heritage.

​​Korean Air introduced a new vision, “To be the world’s most loved airline,” emphasising its dedication to service excellence and corporate responsibility. To bring this vision to life, the airline outlined three key operational pillars:

  •  Beyond Excellence, ensuring the highest standards in safety and operational performance; 
  • Journey Together, fostering a people-first culture for both employees and customers; 
  •  Better Tomorrow, enhancing global connectivity with a strong focus on sustainability initiatives.
