Samsung Group is a South Korean multinational conglomerate headquartered in Samsung Town, Seoul, with its primary electronics division, Samsung Electronics, based in Suwon. The company previously operated its own private aircraft fleet but sold three jets (two Boeing 737s and one Bombardier Global Express) and six helicopters to Korean Air in 2015. Since then, Samsung has relied on chartering private aircraft from Korean Air's VIP charter division when needed. Samsung Electronics Executive Chairman Lee Jae-yong is known to use Korean Air's private jets for international trips. Samsung executives travel extensively to connect their Korean headquarters with global operations, including semiconductor fabrication plants, R&D centers, and sales offices worldwide. Key destinations include Tokyo, Beijing, San Francisco/San Jose (Silicon Valley), New York, London, and Delhi. The Samsung Digital City campus in Suwon includes a dedicated heliport and helicopter for executive transport.
