South Korea

South Korea is preparing to deliver the first production KF-21 Boramae fighter jets to the Republic of Korea Air Force (ROKAF) in 2026. The deliveries mark the transition of the country's flagship combat aircraft program from development to operational service.

South Korea has marked the one-year anniversary of the Jeju Air crash that killed 179 people on December 29, 2024. The ceremony featured a memorial service at Muan International Airport, where President Lee Jae Myung offered his deepest apology and pledged a credible probe into the cause of the crash.
