Boeing 747 Worst Crosswind Storm Landings Takeoffs Touch and Go

The worst airline in the world flies regularly to only four or five destinations, departing from the despotic nation of North Korea.Air Koryo, the state-run Korean airline, rates as the only 1-star carrier on flight consultancy firm SkyTrax. Much-maligned airlines like Spirit Airlines and RyanAir at least earn two stars, putting them on the same playing field as Iran Air and Cubana Air. While Air Koryo stands alone – at the bottom – the issues with the North Korean airline stems more from comfort than safety. Although passengers complain about flight attendants skipping safety instructions or condensation from cooling systems splashing on seats, Air Koryo’s only known fatal accident occurred in 1983. Still, the enigmatic airline founded in 1955 has some clear downsides. The Associated Press described Air Koryo as the world’s quirkiest airline in 2014, and the quirks were not exactly pleasant:In-flight entertainment is usually limited to the popular Moranbong Band girl group singing patriotic odes to the leader. Or North Korean cartoons, shown on drop-down screens attached to the cabin ceilings. On the less than two-hour hop from Beijing, there is a meal of sorts. It resembles a hamburger. It helps that Air Koryo updated its Russian-made fleet in 2010 with new Tupolev 204 aircrafts after the European Union banned the airline in 2006 for “serious and repeated safety deficiencies.” The Russian planes are not known for amenity.
