About this project
The description is as the source gives it.
Korean Air is modernizing its fleet with new-generation aircraft including Boeing 787-10, 777-9, 737-10, and Airbus A350, which deliver up to 20% better fuel efficiency and lower emissions per seat compared to replaced models. These aircraft accounted for over 40% of flights in 2025, contributing to operational emissions cuts. Evidence: "The 777-9 can seat 426 passengers in a two-class configuration with a range of 13,510 km (7,295 nautical miles) and will reduce fuel use and emissions by 20% compared to the airplanes it will replace." — https://boeing.mediaroom.com/2025-08-25-Korean-Air-Commits-to-Record-Purchase-of-103-Boeing-Jets-to-Modernize-Fleet
