N. Korean airline introduces tinned pheasant line, opens Pyongyang shop

Move comes as Air Koryo expanding into sectors including tobacco, soft drinks, and taxis

North Korea’s state airline Air Koryo now produces tinned pheasant meat and has opened a branded shop, photos recently provided to NK News show, continuing the expansion of the brand's range of services and products well beyond the aviation sector.

Ring-pull cans of pheasant meat featuring the airline's logo were visible in March for sale at a Pyongyang hotel shop for 360 Korean Won ($3.37 at June 5's official exchange rate), photographic evidence that the company has now expanded into the food production sector.
