Air Koryo serves more than 20 destinations in Asia and Europe, including domestic and international flight routes to countries such as China and Russia. Just a few examples of the popular destinations covered include Beijing and Moscow.

It now operates both scheduled services and charter flights and does not have any codeshare agreements. It has not become a member of any airline alliance.
Online check-in
Passengers cannot check in online for Air Koryo flights. Instead, they must check in at the airline's airport check-in counters. They can also check in any luggage that they may have at these counters. At the very latest, passengers must check in 1 and a half hours before their flight's scheduled take-off time.
For check-in, passengers will need to show their passport, visa documents and booking confirmation or ticket. They will also be asked to fill in a customs declaration form in order to enter North Korea, which will also have a section to fill in when they leave. Once they have successfully checked in, passengers will receive a seat allocation and boarding card for the flight.
Hand luggage allowance
The airline affords its passengers a hand luggage allowance of 1 item such as a briefcase, small backpack or laptop bag. This item of hand luggage must not weigh any more than 5 kg and should have a combined height, width and length of no more than 115 cm. All items that are to be carried as hand luggage must be able to fit in the overhead storage compartment or under the airplane seat in front of the passenger. Items exceeding these limits will have to be checked into the hold. The weight of this item also counts towards a passenger's overall free luggage allowance for an Air Koryo flight.

If passengers are travelling in the Economy class cabin on an Air Koryo flight, they are entitled to check in up to 20 kg of luggage. If passengers are travelling in the Business class cabin, this allowance is increased to allow them to check in up to 30 kg. Passengers will have to pay excess baggage charges if their luggage weighs more than then they are permitted according to their fare type.
