Korean Air, Asiana Airlines streamline check-in processes

Korean Air and Asiana Airlines are launching an inter-airline through check-in (IATCI) service from Tuesday. “Preparing for the integration, Korean Air and Asiana Airlines will continue to develop services to enhance customer benefits,” Korean Air said Tuesday. This service allows passengers to receive a boarding pass and seat assignment for their connecting flight when checking in with the first airline, as well as transfer their check-in baggage to the final destination. In 2019, there were approximately 12,000 transit passengers between both full-service carriers at Seoul Incheon, according to Korean Air. It currently has IATCI agreements with 49 major global airlines.<br/>
