On April 25, Korean Air will again fly the Boeing 747-8i on the SkyTeam route from Seoul Incheon to Atlanta, the US's eighth-busiest international airport. It last did so on March 29, when the lower-capacity and more premium-configured 777-300ER exclusively operated. Things can change substantially. In December 2024, Korean Air's schedule update showed that the 747-8i would not operate during the summer, which has now changed. Flights are bookable.

The Airbus A380 is the largest commercial aircraft in the skies. The aircraft, often called a "sumperjumbo" for its impressive scale, is massive, seating a maximum of over 800 passengers in an all-economy layout. Even the configuration of the aircraft's operators means the jet can carry around 500 passengers across long distances. The aircraft is considered a marvel of engineering.

The Boeing 767 has four wheels for both of its main landing gear (MLG) sets. Also known as bogies, these are the main support for the weight of the aircraft and are the first points of impact when the 767 lands. The bogies on the 767 also feature a tilt, in which one axle rises above the other when the plane is in the air. Most aircraft with landing gear bogies feature a tilt. However, what's unique about the 767 is the fact that the gear tilts forward.
