Korean Air (abbreviated as KAL, from its original name, Korean Air Lines) is the largest airline in South Korea. A subsidiary of the Hanjin Group, it also owns the low-cost carrier Jin Air. In 2000, it co-founded the SkyTeam airline alliance along with three other airlines.

In late 2020, Korean Air announced plans to merge with its biggest competitor, Asiana Airlines.

A trademark for this logo was filed in January 2022, but it is only in March 2025 that aircraft with the new logo and livery was spotted. The new branding is part of the major refresh post-merger with Asiana Airlines.

It was officially unveiled on March 11, 2025, during "KE Rising Night", which also unveiled the new aircraft livery.
