Operator Questions: South Korea
How many business aviation operators are there in South Korea?

What types of aircraft do operators in South Korea have?
Local companies' fleets include the Eurocopter AS365N2, Sikorsky S-61N, Aerospatiale AS350B2, Bell 214B-1, Bell 407, and Leonardo A109SP. We select the specific aircraft for the task from this fleet and from aircraft in neighboring countries.
Why look at the operator's AOC?
An air operator certificate (AOC) is issued by the aviation authorities of the country of registration and defines flight regulations, crew requirements, and dispute resolution procedures. Flights are always operated by the operator, not the broker, so their approvals are verified before a booking is confirmed.
