Korean Air undertakes volunteer projects in Nepal and Mongolia

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.”
