What the company does
Korea Aerospace Industries designs and manufactures military aircraft, satellites, and launch vehicles, supplying products that range from basic trainer jets and advanced fighter aircraft to unmanned drones and space systems.
Its primary customer for defence work is the South Korean government, specifically the Defense Acquisition Program Administration, which contracts for development, production, capability upgrades, and ongoing support. Listed on KOSPI, South Korea's main stock exchange, the company derives the bulk of its defence revenue from domestic government contracts rather than commercial or export channels.
