Korean Air Flight Status
About Korean Air
Korean Air is an airline based in Republic of Korea, listed under the ICAO code KAL and the IATA code KE; air traffic control addresses its flights by the callsign "Koreanair". On this page you can follow Korean Air flights and find the airports it serves.
How to read a Korean Air flight number
Every Korean Air flight number starts with KE, followed by up to four digits: that is the number on your booking confirmation and boarding pass. In flight plans the same flight carries the ICAO prefix KAL, and controllers address it as "Koreanair". One thing to watch: codeshares. A ticket sold by another airline can be operated by Korean Air and vice versa; live tracking follows the operating carrier's number, so if your search comes up empty, check the "operated by" line on your booking.

Frequently asked questions about Korean Air
Where is my Korean Air flight right now?
Search the flight number (KE plus digits) in the search box on this page. If the aircraft is airborne within receiver coverage, you will see its live status; before departure you will see the route.
Is my Korean Air flight delayed or cancelled?
Check the flight number on this page for live status, but for rebooking, gate changes and cancellations the airline itself remains the authoritative source.
What do KE and KAL mean on Korean Air flights?
They are two prefixes for the same airline. KE is the IATA code you see on tickets; KAL is the ICAO code used in flight plans and by air traffic control.
Does Korean Air operate flights for other airlines?
Codeshare agreements mean a flight sold under another carrier's number may be operated by Korean Air, and the reverse. Live tracking always follows the operating carrier's flight number; check the "operated by" line on your booking.
