Korean Air to showcase next-gen naval drones at 2025 MADEX exhibition

SEOUL, May 28 (Yonhap) -- Korean Air Co. said Wednesday it will showcase its next-generation naval unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) and military aircraft maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) capabilities at the 2025 International Maritime Defense Industry Exhibition (MADEX) in Busan.

Korean Air will feature its artificial intelligence (AI) powered micro UAVs, medium-altitude UAVs and a mock-up of the UH-60 Black Hawk helicopter during its inaugural participation in the four-day exhibition under way in the South Korean southeastern port city.

The company will also highlight its longstanding MRO expertise, particularly in servicing naval aircraft, such as the LYNX, P-3C and F-406, since 1997. Last month, the company secured a performance upgrade contract for UH-60 helicopters.

"With our tailored solutions for naval operations and advanced expertise in aircraft overhauls and upgrades, we aim to expand our role in future maritime defense," a company official said.
