Park Jihoon
Korean travel magazine writer 2018-2024. Covered the Korean Air-Asiana merger. Writes part-time on ICN, Korean carriers, and North Asian transit.
Park spent six years at a Korean travel magazine covering Korean Air, Asiana, and the long, slow consolidation of the two flag carriers into a single Korean aviation industry. He left in 2024 to write independently, partly because the merger coverage was finally winding down and partly because he wanted more time to write the kind of careful airport pieces magazines no longer commission.
He writes for airport.flights as a paid freelance contributor, one to two pieces a month focused on ICN, the Korean carrier landscape, and the broader Northeast Asian transit corridor between Seoul, Tokyo, and the Chinese tier-one cities. His beat is the technical reality of an airport that wins awards and the operational decisions that earn them.
He lives in Mapo-gu, flies ICN almost exclusively, and considers it a small national service to point out that ICN’s quiet annual award streak is earned by infrastructure investment that most other awarded airports have not made.
