Audio
Visual on Demand (AVOD)
Since 2003, Korean Air has been introducing Audio Video
on Demand (AVOD) for First Class and Business Class
on mid-long haul routes including US, Europe, and Southeast
Asia flights. One of the most advanced in-flight entertainment
systems, the AVOD systems will gradually be added to
all three classes. The AVOD system gives passengers
a choice of 36 movie channels and a selection of more
than 1,000 different music choices. In addition, passengers
will have a choice of a variety of games and be able
to access flight information at their convenience.
Korean
Air Sleeper Seats (Cocoon Style)
Korean Air is introducing new cutting-edge cocoon-style
sleeper seats to its first class in the B747-400 long
haul fleet. The custom made seats, feature 30-inch wide
fabric seats that recline to 180 degrees, with privacy
partitions and individual in-flight entertainment functions
including Audio Video on Demand (AVOD), internet/email
service, and a 15-inch inch LCD monitor screen. Other
newly added functions to the First Class seats are lumber
massage, movable side armrests, a buddy seat (auxiliary
seat) and individual reading lights. The seats will
provide more comfort and privacy for passengers.
Korean
Air Prestige Plus Seats
The new Prestige Plus Seats for business class will
feature similar entertainments systems as offered in
First Class. The biggest change from the current Business
Class is the angle of recline. Currently, business class
seats recline 138 degrees, but the new seats recline
up to 170 degrees providing almost a flat bed.
Inflight

Passengers will be able to enjoy high speed internet
services inflight. There are currently four aircraft
that have these services. By the end of this year, 14
aircraft will have these services and by the end of

By 2008, all mid-long haul flights will have these services
available onboard. Passengers will have access to LAN
or use wireless LAN cards.
New
Inflight Interior Changes 
New color schemes for airplane seats have been introduced.
Celadon green, a shade that is characteristic of historical
and cultural Korea, has been adopted for first and business
class seats, reinforcing Korean Air's image as the nation's
flag carrier. For economy class seats, dark blue and
chocolate shades have been adopted to provide passengers
feelings of comfort and ease as well as a feeling of
youth and spirited energy. All classes will have charcoal
grey carpet.
