Timeline

2021

Walter Cho has been widely recognized for successfully navigating the COVID-19 pandemic; he has been praised for his “nimble and market accurate strategy” resulting in profitable operations unrivaled by the company’s airlines peers.” He led Korean Air to successfully pivot to its cargo operations when passenger operations nearly came to a halt due to COVID restrictions; the airline operated cargo-only flights on passenger routes and converted some passenger jets into freighters. These efforts helped the airline to achieve an operating profit throughout the pandemic, and a record-high operating profit and net profit in 2021. Korean Air was named both 2021 Airline of the Year and 2022 Cargo Operator of the Year by Air Transport World. The airline was also recognized as AirlineRatings.com’s 2022 Cargo Airline of the Year and ranked fourth in their top 20 airlines.

He later became the chief operating officer of Korean Air. In the aftermath of his sister Heather's 2015 resignation over the nut rage incident, he took over management responsibility for other areas of Korean Air's business which she had previously overseen, including hotels and catering, in what was widely seen as a confirmation that he would inherit control of the company.
