Korean Air has announced that it will allow the use of Portable Electronic Devices (PEDs) for the entire duration of flights starting this month. Korean Air has obtained approval of the "safety evaluation for expanding the use of PEDs" from the Korean Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport. "Accordingly, both international and domestic passengers travelling with Korean Air will be allowed to use PEDs during all phases of flight including takeoff and landing," said the Korean Air statement. On occasion, the flight attendants will have the authority to restrict the use of PEDs in-flight, such as when the aircraft is performing landing in low visibility, or if the device is affecting the aircraft's navigation system, according to Shipping Gazette.
