Korean Air Renews Flight Communications Contract with ARINC

Korean Air renewed its contract for operational voice and data flight communications with ARINC.

The Seoul-based airline currently uses ARINC's GLOBALink VHF (very high frequency), HF (high frequency), satellite (satcom) and voice communication services.  The new agreement extends these for three more years.

GLOBALink/VHF customers still primarily employ ACARS (aircraft communications addressing and reporting system) technology that is used globally for air operational control and, increasingly, for air traffic control. There are currently more than 120 GLOBALink remote ground stations in operation throughout China, East Asia, and Southeast Asia, according to ARINC.  03-31-2007.
