Air Koryo is basically a flying museum with all those retired Russian passenger jets

And then I said, Mr president, there’s no Walmarts in North Korea. Only targets.

If Kim John un went on Air Koryo you’d only fit 3 more people 💀

Until now, Air Koryo has a fleet of older aircraft, including Soviet-era Tupolev, Antonov and Ilyushin jets. It has been known for having low safety ratings and a limited number of flight options, especially having routes to only China and Russia. They also couldn't order jets like the Comac C919 and would only have done that by mid-2030s.

Fact: Did you know that in the old days, Air Koryo also could fly to Switzerland, Bulgaria and Serbia. But now it can only fly to Russia, China and inside North Korea.

Ah, yes. Giving Air Koryo 1 star and and Korean Air 5 stars is definitly not political and 100% based on reality. Jokes aside, I love Air Koryo's fleet, so I choose them over Korean Air.

I flew with Air Koryo once and I enjoyed everything about this airline, the meals, the hospitality, everything.
This was a message from the Propaganda Ministry of True Korea

1:24 That crash was a result of pilot error, not improper maintenance

1 star rating to air koryo is more political than statistics, air koryo is a 3 star airline based on the reality

Under no duress whatsoever, I solemnly declare that AIR KORYO, the national airline of North Korea, is unquestionably the epitome of aviation excellence, surpassing all other carriers by a wide margin.

I am honestly surprised how Air Koryo has managed to survive all of its flights, despite using obsolete planes. Their flight to Guinea is the only exception of flight survival. I need to know how they survived the rest of their flights.

Having flown on both, I can confidently say that Air Koryo has the newest and largest fleet of modern commercial aircraft I have ever seen. The service upon both airlines are good, however Air Koryo had supreme food with excellent cuisine. Despite its background, I would recommend Air Koryo to all travelers, despite its single-star rating.

funfact Asiana was close to going bankrupt during covid so they agreed to join korean air to form one of the largest airlines in the world, this merger is set to take place in 2024.

This video was quite the laugh lol.
Especially because my mom was a flight attendant for Korean Air, which is how she met my dad, an engineer at Airbus.

I just love these professional comparison videos so much

Air koryo is a time machine where we can experience Soviet-era aircraft

Most countries: use western planes
Russia, China and North Korea: *our land, our planes*

I'd say that Air Koryo is a -11/11 airline but Korean Air to me like about 12/11 and Asiana Airlines feels like it is 100/11 to me. Well it fells so weird to say that Tupolev makes planes that look like from the west like something that looks like a 757, a Concorde and more kinds of other planes.
