Korean Air announced on September 10 that it conducted a volunteer activity at the Habitat for Humanity Korea 'Building Homes of Hope' site in Chuncheon, Gangwon Province on September 9, aiming to improve the residential environment of the local community.

This event was part of the 'Building Homes of Hope' volunteer program organized by Habitat for Humanity Korea, designed to provide comfortable and safe homes to neighbors living in poor housing conditions. Around 20 employees from Korean Air and Asiana Airlines participated in the volunteer work, joining efforts to build houses.

Since forming a partnership with Habitat for Humanity Korea in 2001 and supporting construction expenses, Korean Air employees have been directly involved in residential improvement projects since 2004. To date, about 850 employees from Korean Air have contributed to building 21 'Homes of Hope' in cities across Korea, including Daejeon, Yangpyeong, Cheonan, Chuncheon, and Jinju, practicing community sharing through the improvement of housing conditions.

On that day, Korean Air also received a plaque of appreciation from Habitat for Humanity Korea. The award is particularly meaningful as it recognizes the company's consistent commitment to social responsibility for 25 years since 2001, beyond one-off donations. Over the years, Korean Air has not only provided financial support for construction but also enabled employees to directly participate in 'Building Homes of Hope' sites, striving to improve local housing conditions and promote a culture of sharing through continuous social contribution activities.

A Korean Air representative said, "We are grateful that employees of both Korean Air and Asiana Airlines could sweat side by side and help provide a warm home for those in need," adding, "We will continue to pursue a variety of activities to fulfill our corporate social responsibility while walking alongside the local community in the future."

Meanwhile, ahead of the launch of the integrated airline on December 17, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are continuing various social contribution activities. The education donation volunteer teams from both companies host special career lectures each month for elementary and middle school students, introducing various aviation industry careers and supporting their career planning. On September 4, employees also packaged upcycled items and attached labels at Korean Air's head office in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, to donate to social welfare facilities, as part of ongoing sharing activities.
