The flying experience on North Korea’s “one-star airline” Air Koryo is completely different from any other airline! You can fly this airline and visit a museum at the same time! But are they really bizarre and terrible?
I share my experience of flying Air Koryo on their Soviet Ilyushin IL-62, Ilyushin IL-18 and modern Tupolev 204 and Antonov 148 aircraft. It actually has more leg room and the seats are wider than most other airlines, customer service may be better than United or RyanAir. There are free food and drinks for everyone. It is definitely an exotic experience you don’t want to miss!
The aviation tour to North Korea has given us the opportunity to visit many parts of the country including the sacred Mount Paektu near Samjiyon. I share some of the first hand insights about the country, the tour guide, accommodation and food.
The video also covers North Korea’s first Air Show; Wonsan AirShow. It was the most exotic airshow I’ve ever attended with a lineup of rare Soviet vintage fleet of Air Koryo and North Korean Air Force, many joy flights on Air Koryo, and the possibility to meet with North Koreans freely at the airshow.

Air koryo planes probably reliable than 737 Max probably
3:40 "it requires a team of five technicians to fly the airplane: two pilots, an egenieer, and two tapers, who run around the plane duct-taping components that fall off".
Not "Illusion" 18, but Ilyushin !
If I was of Asian descent, I would not be visiting North Korea. The first chance they get they’re going to accuse you of being a spy for America. It’s happened many times. Why push it?
Imagine if you will a land in Asia ruled by a system dreamed into existence by a dead German layabout and formalized by a dead Russian bank robber and the people dressed as Soviets from the 1940's to the 1960's with a little Pol Pot mixed in and happy Stasi employees everywhere you turn and it will be called the Democratic Republic of North Korea. An oxy oxy moron. Nice airplanes too!
I'm sure it's still way more comfortable than spirit airlines. These planes are from an era of luxury not today's era of "calculated misery"
How were yoy able to get away with documenting all of this? Everything i see theyre super strict on pictures and filming.
1: I hope you had a new, blank SIM, in your phone.

Its cool, but you're making a propaganda video for a genocidal regime.
People are trying to get out of north korea and your traveling there😂
They ask you to not take photos of them and yet you ignore what they say. Arrogant
The landings seem pretty good ngl
this channel is payed for subs and bot comments you can tell by the view count on the videos for some one with 3.5mil subs the views done add up
This country fascinates me. May I ask how far in advance do you have to start making the arrangements, how long does it take before you're actually on your way?
