LOS ANGELES, CA. -- Korean Air has been named Best Airline in Asia and Best Transpacific Business Class by Business Traveler magazine’s readers in the publication’s 2007 Readers’ Choice Travel Survey.

In addition, the readers of PAX International magazine honored Korean Air with the Global Travel Catering Distinction Award (the magazine’s highest honor) and named Korean Air caterer of the year for the Asia/Pacific region.

“We’ve invested a lot of time, effort and money into our product, especially in meals and inflight service so it’s rewarding to see our work noticed and appreciated,” said Korean Air’s Americas’ Marketing Director, John Jackson.

This is the second consecutive year that Business Traveler readers have voted Korean Air’s Business Class the best over the Pacific. “The addition of Best Airline in Asia is significant because of the level of competition in that region,” Jackson said. “We’re honored that we’ve risen to the top in business travelers’ minds.”

Business Traveler conducts The Readers' Choice Best in Business Travel Survey annually. Business Traveler subscribers were selected at random and asked to identify the companies who have made their business travels more enjoyable in nearly 50 categories.

Throughout 2007, PAX International, the industry’s largest publication for inflight catering executives, asked its readers to select the best new product launch, outstanding food service by a carrier, overall caterer and airlines of the year, for four regions of the world.

“We’ve instituted new dining services including Wedgwood place settings and improved inflight meals and it’s great to have peer approval through the Pax International award program,” Jackson added. “This is a significant industry honor.”
