Korean Information Service, Korea's largest flag carrier Korean Air Co. said Monday (April 30) it has clinched a preliminary deal with U.S. aircraft manufacturer Boeing Co. to provide comprehensive maintenance and service for F-15K fighter jets.
Under the deal, Korean Air will offer a wider range of maintenance and services, including training of military maintenance personnel, for Boeing-made F-15K fighters in the Korean Air Force.
