  "summary": "Korean Air has successfully tested urban air mobility (UAM) operations on island routes off Incheon, marking a step toward expanding the technology beyond population centers. The demonstration flight, conducted using a surrogate aircraft in cooperation with KT Corp., Hyundai Motor and Hyundai Engineering & Construction, utilized Korean Air's in-house Air Control & Routing Orchestrated Skyway System (ACROSS) to manage flight operations and air traffic. The airline plans to complete the first phase of Incheon's UAM control system project in December as part of its efforts to develop traffic management and flight operations systems for future air taxi services.",
