Smelling stewardess

A deserted airport customs lounge, luggage weighed by hand on an old fashioned scale and a cockpit with no digital assistance, are just some of the sites a photographer from Singapore has captured on camera after flying with the world’s only one-star airline.
冷清的候機(jī)廳，行李稱重在老式稱上手工完成，沒有數(shù)字輔助設(shè)備的座艙，正是一位新加坡攝影師在乘坐世界唯一的一星航空公司航班飛行時(shí)拍下的照片。

Aram Pan gained unprecedented access to the Soviet-era planes still used in North Korea by the nation’s civil carrier, Air Koryo, plus cargo transporters and helicopters, after joining a tour for aviation enthusiasts inside the communist enclave.
在參加完社會(huì)主義領(lǐng)地內(nèi)的航空迷參觀游后，亞蘭·潘獲得了前所未有的訪問權(quán)限，得以參觀朝鮮民航——高麗航空現(xiàn)役的蘇聯(lián)時(shí)代飛機(jī)，以及貨機(jī)和直升機(jī)。

From the photos, the airline, which was founded in 1950 as a joint North Korean-Soviet partnership to connect the capital Pyongyang with Moscow, appears to be stuck in a time warp.
照片上，朝鮮與蘇聯(lián)在1950年聯(lián)合成立、用以連接首都平壤和莫斯科的航空公司仿佛陷在了時(shí)間陷阱中。

Photographer Aram Pan was greeted by smiling Air Koryo flight attendants dressed in smart navy blue outfits before he boarded an Ilyushin Il-18 plane, a large turboprop airliner. The Soviet aircraft was first flown in 1957.
