Korea Aerospace Industries

Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI), the only integrated aerospace manufacturer in the Republic of Korea (ROK), has been established in October 1999 in compliance with National Desires for strategic encouragement of Aerospace Industries in Korea which are the future superior-technology and high-yield industry. Since its establishment with clear vision to become one of the top fifteen aerospace companies by 2020, KAI has endeavoured to develop Korea’s aerospace industry by securing advanced aerospace technologies, promoting related industries and developing indigenous satellite and launch vehicle products, all of which led to significant achievements in its pursuit. KAI has greatly contributed for more than 70% localization of Korea multipurpose satellite program (KOMPSAT series) being promoted as part of the national space effort. As the Korea’s representative aerospace system integrator, KAI will perform its roles and responsibility to lead domestic suppliers and material producers so that we can all meet our national aerospace vision of becoming top eight aerospace country by 2020 and responsible for the nation’s defence and aerospace development.
