Korean Air wins business travel awards

Korean Air has received three accolades from Business Traveler magazine.

The carrier was named the best provider of business class flights to Asia for the fourth consecutive year and the best airline in Asia for the third time.

Readers of the magazine also voted Korean Air's latest advertising campaign the best in the corporate travel sector.

Spokesman John Jackson said the airline is "committed to providing travellers the best in-flight entertainment, the most comfortable seats available and remarkably attentive service".

"As a result we are repeatedly recognised as one of the world's best airlines," he added.

"We offer one of the best products in the air with routes into Asia that surpass other airlines and again, business travellers are responding."

Korean Air's business class service includes lie-flat sleeper seats with a 74-inch pitch, offering levels of comfort "normally reserved for first class on other carriers", according to Mr Jackson.

Despite the recent economic crisis, the airline has invested the equivalent of about £123 million in improving its fleet and attracting more business travellers.
