Air Koryo (Korean: 고려항공; Hancha: 高麗航空; MR: Koryŏ Hanggong) is the state-owned flag carrier of North Korea, headquartered in Sunan-guyŏk, Pyongyang.[3] Based at Pyongyang International Airport (IATA: FNJ),[4] it operates international scheduled and charter services to destinations within Asia as well as flights on behalf of the Government of North Korea.[citation needed]
Air Koryo is banned in South Korea under the basis of the country's National Security Act[citation needed] and is subject to restrictions under Annex B of the Air Safety List of the European Union due to safety concerns.[5]
The company flew to neighboring China to collect COVID-19-related supplies.[6][7] Scheduled flights did not operate between 2020 and 2023. Scheduled flights to Beijing resumed on 22 August 2023 and flights to Vladivostok resumed on 25 August 2023.[8]
