The Airbus A321neo also features an Airbus Airspace cabin, which is all about giving passengers a more comfortable and ambient experience. And don’t worry about losing touch with the world below; the plane offers Wi-Fi access to all passengers.

This will include not just the additional 20 A321neos but also 10 Boeing 787-9s, 20 Boeing 787-10s, and 30 Boeing 737-8s. As part of this modernization effort, Korean Air will also phase out its older A330-300s and Boeing 777-200ERs.
