Korean Air, the nation’s largest flagship carrier, will offer its first- and business-class passengers on long-distance routes a high-end skincare kit manufactured by a global luxury cosmetic brand DAVI, beginning in May.
From June, the airline will also provide a range of low-calorie in-flight meals for its economy-class passengers heading to and from destinations in North America and Europe.
In a press briefing held at Hyatt Regency Incheon Wednesday, Heather Cho, senior vice president of Korean Air, and DAVI Chairman Carlo Mondavi unveiled the luxury skincare amenity kit. The cosmetic product is made from grape extracts.
“We are delighted to provide our customers with DAVI’s revolutionary cosmetic product. The provision of the world-class amenity skincare kit will further improve our image as one of the world’s premier airlines. Korean Air will continue to make every effort to innovate and upgrade customer services,” Cho said.
Carlo Mondavi said DAVI’s products are made from fermented grape extracts, packed with the incredibly rich aging-preventing and anti-aging anti-oxidant known as Resveratrol and Polyphnols.
“We are greatly honored to be the luxury amenity provider for Korean Air. We would like to help the airline set standards in the air and deliver the best in-flight experience known in the business to its passengers. DAVI looks forward to making this partnership one of the finest in the industry,” Mondavi said.
Korean Air also said it will introduce low-calorie salmon salad or noodles to economy class passengers on flights to and from North America and Europe. It said customers will be able to choose between them, along with one main dish - beef, chicken or Bibimbab.
