The airlines said Monday they placed the decorations at eight locations, including each carrier’s check-in counters at Incheon International Airport’s Terminal 2, Korean Air’s headquarters in Seoul’s Gangseo District and Asiana’s headquarters. The brooms will remain on display through Feb. 23.
Hanging a new broom on the first day of the lunar year is a traditional custom meant to gather good fortune, like collecting rice in a sieve.
Korean Air has held the annual event since 2008 to mark the holiday and help preserve traditional customs. This year, Asiana employees joined the event, adding significance as the companies prepare for full integration.
“Ahead of the integration of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, we hope our customers enjoy health and happiness and that this year will be one of powerful leaps, like a red horse,” a Korean Air official said.
