[SUMMIT] Korean Air to purchase 100 Boeing planes following Korea-US summit: report

Korean Air will purchase roughly 100 Boeing airplanes following the latest summit between President Lee Jae Myung and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump in Washington, Reuters reported Monday (local time).

Hanjin Group and Korean Air Chairman Cho Won-tae accompanied Lee during on his ongoing Washington visit.Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times Weiter zum vollständigen Artikel bei Korea Times
