Carrier Secures Funding With State-Backed Guarantee
Korean Air has successfully priced a $300 million five-year Eurobond, guaranteed by the state-owned Korea Development Bank. The bonds were priced to yield 0.65 percentage points more than comparable US government bonds, after attracting strong investor interest. This transaction follows a similar $300 million three-year Eurobond issued in August 2026, as previously reported by ch-aviation.
