Air Chollima, named after the powerful flying horse in East Asian mythology (literally 1000-li horse), is the flag carrier of the Democratic People's Republic of North Korea. Created in the late 50s to serve a vital air link for diplomats and elites travelling between Pyongyang and Moscow, Korean-Soviet Air Lines (Корейско-Советская Авиакомпания) was created using the newest Soviet aircraft. The airline was rebranded to Chollima Korean People's Airline in 1960.
Fast forward seventy years later and one or two generations of aircraft later, not much has changed. Despite the 1999 rebranding as Air Chollima and having taken delivery of various new Antonov aircraft in the latest few decades, the airline remains one of the most secretive in the world.
Due to UN sanctions against the airline's home country, Air Chollima cannot purchase new aircraft to renew its fleet and as such much of the airline is focused on maintaining the vintage Soviet fleet. Here is a Tu-154 because trijets are sexy.
