North Korea's flag carrier Air Koryo has redesigned its homepage to serve customers only in English.

The website (www.airkoryo.com.kp), which used to be in both Korean and English, offers booking services and other airline information in English.

Much of the site remains bare, however, with only three items under "latest news," including one on the launch of a new aircraft, the Tupolev 204-100, on the Pyongyang-Beijing route in April 2010.

Another article, dated Oct. 1, 2015, says the airline launched a website in August 2012.

"The website will provide you with easier, quicker, reliable booking and ticketing services," it reads. "We hope you enjoy a great experience with quality services provided on the site."

Online booking is available for flights between Pyongyang and Shenyang, Beijing and Vladivostok. Depending on the route, air fares can be paid in Korean won, Japanese yen or the euro.(Yonhap)
