Korean Air partners with DHL Global Forwarding for direct booking connection

The API (Application Programming Interface) system allows customers to make reservations directly from their own system, bypassing the need to access the airline’s platform. This integration enhances workflow efficiency by enabling real-time data exchange between airlines and customers, facilitating easier access to flight schedules and air cargo rates.

The airline’s effort in identifying and implementing technological advancements underscores its commitment to providing bespoke services tailored to diverse customer needs.
