About Korean Air Cargo

Korean Air Cargo operates one of the largest freighter fleets in the world from Incheon, and is a dominant carrier of electronics and semiconductor equipment on transpacific and Asia–Europe lanes.

Main hubSeoul Incheon (ICN)
FleetOne of the largest dedicated Boeing 747 and 777 freighter fleets globally
Principal lanesNorth East Asia to North America and Europe via Incheon

Worth knowing: Korean Air carries a lot of extremely sensitive semiconductor equipment, so its handling procedures for high-value shipments add documented steps that appear as extra milestones on tracking.

What you see when tracking Korean Air Cargo cargo

Air cargo reports against standard IATA milestones rather than the continuous scanning you get from a courier: received from shipper (RCS), manifested (MAN), departed (DEP), arrived (ARR), received from flight (RCF) and delivered (DLV). Shyppy plots those on a map and timeline, tells you which flight the consignment is on, and emails you when the next milestone lands or the arrival estimate moves.
