Korean Air has undertaken a series of volunteer and environmental initiatives in Nepal and Mongolia, underscoring its commitment to global community support. This follows the airline's recognition as AirlineRatings.com's World's Best Airline for 2025 and a recent collaboration with Delta Air Lines for a beach cleanup in California.

From May 19 to 24, 22 Korean Air employees and their families traveled to Chitwan, Nepal, approximately 150 kilometers southwest of Kathmandu. They assisted a local children's daycare center by installing drainage systems for clean drinking water, repairing playgrounds, renovating parts of the facility, distributing school supplies, serving meals, playing games with children, and donating health supplies.

Korean Air operates 25 employee-led volunteer groups supporting various social causes. In Mongolia, the airline initiated a two-week reforestation project on May 19 at its "Korean Air Forest" in Baganuur, Ulaanbaatar. Over 260 employees from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines participated in planting saplings and maintaining the forest established in 2004.

The event began with planting two pine trees symbolizing the future of the merged airlines. The Korean Air Forest spans 44 hectares with over 125,000 trees across 12 species. It aids in improving air quality and acts as a dust buffer from nearby coal mines.

In anticipation of Mongolia’s Children’s Day on June 1, Korean Air installed a new playground within the forest. Employees conducted safety checks and painting work. Volunteers also visited Gun-galutai and Bolovsrol National Schools to teach lessons in Korean, English, and aviation engineering—a continuation of Korean Air's educational commitments since 2013.

These efforts follow an environmental initiative with Delta Air Lines on April 24—a beach cleanup near Santa Monica Pier marking their second consecutive year of collaboration for Southern California's coastline protection.

“For the past 21 years, Korean Air has remained dedicated to reforestation efforts in Mongolia to combat desertification,” said a Korean Air spokesperson. “Our work in Nepal, Mongolia, and beyond reflects our broader mission to make a positive impact wherever we operate.”
