South Korean all-cargo carrier Air Incheon has become one of the first airlines in the country to sign up to Boeing’s Flight Operations Representative (FOR) programme.
The aircraft manufacturer will provide dedicated flight operations representatives who will work closely with Air Incheon’s own flight operations team, offering tailored technical advice, operational support and guidance on the airline’s four Boeing 737-800 freighters to maximise performance and safety.
Air Incheon flight operations department director Jongjin Lee explained: “This collaboration not only underscores our dedication to maintaining the highest standards of safety and efficiency but also aligns with our long-term strategy to be at the forefront of innovation and best practices in the aviation industry.
“As we continue to expand our services and reach new markets, having Boeing’s support will be invaluable in ensuring that our operations are as safe and efficient as possible. We look forward to the positive impact this partnership will have on our airline and our commitment to providing exceptional service to our customers.”
Andrew Goodsall, Boeing regional chief pilot, aircrew operations, added: “Our flight operations representatives are a fundamental part of our ongoing commitment to work together with our customers to strengthen operational safety.”
He said they played an essential role in facilitating communication and collaboration with operators on how to best safely and effectively operate their aircraft.
Earlier this month, Korean Air signed a “basic business sale agreement” with Air Incheon for Asiana Airlines’ cargo business.
