North Korea’s Vintage Airliners Banned From China | NK News – North Korea News
Voilà, même les Chinois n’en veulent plus ! Air Koryo, la compagnie aérienne nord-coréenne, c’est (quasi) fini. A part quelques vols intérieurs, il reste (je crois me souvenir) une liaison en Russie à Vladivostok et c’est tout.
Ça rappelle Interflug la compagnie est-allemande qui n’avait aussi que quelques lignes qui fonctionnaient seulement de temps en temps...
C’était déjà compliqué d’aller à Pyongyang, maintenant il faudra faire comme Ro Su-Hui (mais dans l’autre sens) ! ---->

North Korea’s Vintage Airliners Banned From China
It’s Game Over for Korea’s Decades Old Soviet Fleet
North Korea’s Vintage Airliners Banned From China
January 17, 2013
North Korea’s national carrier Air Koryo, infamous for being the world’s only ‘one star airline‘, is about to have its wings clipped, after new Chinese flight restrictions prevent the company’s rickety old fleet from posing a safety risk by entering Chinese airspace.Air Koryo was banned from entering European airspace in 2006 due to its poor safety credentials, but now its main destination China has also followed suit. Moving forward, the North Korean airline will be obliged to replace several aircraft types on its Sino-DPRK services or cease running some flights all together. As a result of the new rules, Air Koryo will be retiring decades old Soviet-era Tupolev and Ilyushin planes on routes into and out of China, replacing them completely with a modern fleet of expensive Russian jets.
