Korean Air today received a B737NG (Next Generation) aircraft with the state-of-the-art AVOD (Audio Video On Demand) system.

With a 138 seat capacity, this new aircraft with the innovative Boeing Sky Interior will operate short to mid-haul international destinations such as Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh in Southeast Asia, and Xian, Shenzhen in China by the end of July after completing necessary tests.

The 737 Boeing Sky Interior features a stylish and even more comfortable cabin environment with the newly sculpted sidewalls and new windows adding a modern and stylish touch. Also, the newly improved and expanded Pivot Bins not only enables passengers to load more baggage, but it also helps keep disturbances to aisle seat passengers to the minimum. The LED (light emitting diode) lightening system offers a range of ambient light programs, from soft sky blue hues to a calm and relaxing palette of dusk colors, while the new touch-screen attendant panel offers enhanced convenience.

Korean Air is rolling out the AVOD system in all classes and plans to fit out its 14 short to mid ranged B737NG (Next Generation) models such as 4 B737-900ERs and 10 B737-800s, which are scheduled to be delivered by next year, with the Boeing Sky Interior.

Korean Air completed its cabin refurbishment project for mid to long-haul flights early this year, and is the first airline in Northeast Asia to operate a super jumbo A380 service since June. By adopting the next generation B737-800 aircraft, Korean Air aims to further improve its premium service strategy.
