Korean Air (Seoul) is already a Boeing 747-8F Intercontinental freighter operator. The flag carrier will soon to be welcomed to the 747-8 Intercontinental passenger club with the pending delivery of its first copy (above). The company has 10 Super Jumbos on order and will replace their older Boeing 747-400s with new type. The older 747-400s will be phased out by 2017.
Like Lufthansa, Korean Air will soon operate both the Airbus A380 and the Boeing 747-800.
