So far, it has been performing missions as a dedicated aircraft, flying 1,622,222 km in 156 countries around the world. The Korean government carried out the summit tour of 51 countries in order to visit the summits with each country and to participate in multilateral summits such as APEC, G20, and COP26, and flew 511,666 km during the last four years and eight months of his tenure.
