For decades, the gateway to the DPRK has been the national airline, Air Koryo. However, the history of the airline has changed along with the ebb-and-flow of international relations and geopolitics. Once regularly running departures from Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, today the airline focuses on regional destinations serving diplomats and business passengers.
Through the lens of this airline, we can track the history of the DPRK's relationship with the global community, how it grew in the early days of national foundation, and then changed dramatically with the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
This is the definitive history of Air Koryo.
