On January 15, President Moon headed to Dubai aboard the newly introduced Air Force Code One. In addition, the old Air Force Unit 1, which completed major missions such as the President of the Republic of Korea's overseas tour for the past 11 years and 9 months, has been retired.

The Boeing 747-400, the Air Force's first aircraft manufactured in 2001, was the first aircraft to have both internal and external appearance as a dedicated aircraft. 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.
