Boeing named Korean Air as its best supplier in the “pathfinder” category for its notable progress in manufacturing aircraft components.
The world’s largest aircraft manufacturer gave the top award to Korean Air at the annual “Supplier of the Year” award ceremony held in San Diego on Thursday.
Starting with wing parts for Boeing 747 in 1986, Korean Air has been producing components for Boeing’s 717, 737, 767, 777, 787 and 747-8 aircraft.
Korean Air also received the award in 2001 and 2007.
Boeing awards only 17 top suppliers each year selected from over 11,000 suppliers in 52 countries.
