Korean Air Lines Co.,Ltd.

Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd. Aerospace Business Division operates as a prime contractor delivering depot-level aircraft maintenance, repair, overhaul, and service life extension services to U.S. military customers across the Indo-Pacific region, with all work performed at facilities in South Korea. The company competes full-and-open on no-set-aside awards, holding a portfolio spanning multiple indefinite delivery contracts with Air Force Materiel Command, Naval Air Systems Command, and Defense Contract Management Agency.

Korean Air Lines' Aerospace Business Division specializes in programmed depot maintenance, service life extension program (SLEP) modifications, and reset repairs for U.S. military fixed-wing and rotary-wing platforms. Representative work includes a $3.459 million delivery order from Ogden Air Logistics Complex (issued June 2026) for SLEP modification installation on an F-16 aircraft (90-0710) with completion due May 2027; a $3.25 million Naval Supply Systems Command delivery order (March 2026) for H-53 aircraft programmed maintenance and reset repairs; a $4.537 million Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex delivery order (August 2023) for F-15 programmed depot maintenance at Kadena Air Base; and a $3.2 million Air Force Lifecycle Management Center delivery order (December 2023) for F-16 depot and SLEP work. The company also holds a single-award indefinite delivery contract with Army Pacific Command (valued $2.753 million through December 2025) for helicopter chemical agent resistant coating (CARC) painting services.

Customer concentration sits heavily with Air Force Materiel Command and its subordinate logistics complexes, which account for the preponderance of recent awards. The top five funding agencies by award count cover 85% of all prime awards: Ogden Air Logistics Complex (189 awards, $797.7 million combined potential value), Air Force Lifecycle Management Center at Hill Air Force Base (105 awards, $715.3 million), Warner Robins Air Logistics Complex (67 awards, $1.1 billion), Defense Contract Management Agency (65 awards, $116.3 million), and Air Force Sustainment Center (18 awards, $7.4 million). By combined potential value, the ranking shifts slightly, with Warner Robins ranking first ($1.1 billion across 67 awards), followed by Ogden ($797.7 million across 189 awards) and Hill AFB ($715.3 million across 105 awards). Naval Air Systems Command and Robins Air Force Base Lifecycle Management Center round out the top five by dollars, each carrying $379 million and $478.6 million respectively in potential value across their respective award counts.

Korean Air Lines holds five primary indefinite delivery contracts anchoring task-order activity: FA823212D0013 (125 task orders, $8.8 million combined potential value), FA823221D0001 (74 task orders, $123.9 million), FA820214D0001 (48 task orders, $11.9 million), FA850518D0005 (44 task orders, $110.8 million), and FA820209D0006 (38 task orders, $51.5 million). These are the vehicle positions from which delivery orders flow to Ogden, Hill AFB, Warner Robins, and other Air Force and Navy customers. The vendor also holds a $504 million F-16 depot maintenance and service life extension ID/IQ contract with Air Force Materiel Command through November 2031 and a $303 million H-53 aircraft maintenance ID/IQ with Naval Air Systems Command through May 2029, both referenced repeatedly in award descriptions as parent vehicles.

Activity has declined year over year since 2022, dropping from 30 awards that year to 25 in 2024 and 18 in 2025, with only 5 awards recorded in the first half of 2026. Eight awards totaling $17.1 million in combined potential value face ultimate completion in the next twenty-four months, exposing the vendor to recompete risk on a relatively small subset of its current portfolio. The source data shows 524 total awards (518 prime, 6 sub), reflecting a 99% prime posture. Sub-award activity is minimal: six sub-awards to Boeing Company for CH-47F aircraft structures and AH-6 aircraft engineering and long-lead items between December 2023 and August 2025.

SCI-reported invoiced revenue of $25.3 million spans FY2023–FY2024 only, with $17.4 million invoiced in FY2023 across 26.5 full-time equivalents and $7.8 million in FY2024 across 26.8 FTEs. Government-paid hourly rates on SCI-reportable service contracts ran a median of $285.69/hr, ranging from a 10th percentile of $113.84/hr to a 90th percentile of $336.65/hr. The vendor performed 0% of hours through subcontractors on its prime SCI contracts, indicating all delivery was performed by direct staff. SCI data represents a narrow slice of Korean Air Lines' federal activity and excludes the bulk of its goods-focused aircraft maintenance and repair contracts.

Korean Air Lines operates as a subsidiary or division of the parent Korean Air Lines Co., Ltd., with named subsidiaries including Hanjin International Corporation and Korean Air Lines Company Ltd_Aerospace Division.
