About Korea Aero Summit

We cordially invite you to join us for 1st Korea Aero Summit (KAS) scheduled in 2021 in Seoul, Republic of Korea. KAS 2021, a two-day event, will serve as a platform where all the stakeholders in commercial aviation could connect, network and discuss the current and the future of the Korean air travel industry. The theme of this year’s event is: Re-Imagine the Commercial Aviation Industry in Korea. 

​

Driven by LCC growth, annual passenger traffic in Korea has more than doubled over the past 10 years, from 52.3 million in 2008 to 117.5 million in 2018. The number of local airlines operating scheduled services has increased from only three at the beginning of 2008 to nine currently (two FSCs and seven LCCs). The network of air routes crisscrossing Korean airspace is the seventh largest in the world. According to IATA, a total of 93 airlines now closely connect Korea to 183 cities in 53 countries around the world. 

​

Along with the growth of the aviation industry, there have been calls for the expansion of infrastructure, aircraft fleet acquisition and renewal, nurturing MRO industry for Korean carriers, better air travel experiences, and the fostering of aviation personnel. KAS 2021 is an opportune event to discuss these trending topics and identify opportunities for your business growth!
