A private South Korean light aircraft will fly from North Korea back to the South across the Military Demarcation Line next month in the first such flight since the Korean War.

A South Korean committee on the implementation of the 2000 inter-Korean joint declaration said Tuesday that Korea Air Sports Association President Oh Se-hoon will depart from Sunan Airport in Pyongyang with a North Korean crew aboard.

Oh's plane will fly over the North Korean border city of Gaesong and the demarcation line and arrive in Gwangju in South Korea on June 14th for an inter-Korean event.

A Seoul official said both Koreas will also decide whether to allow the aircraft to fly back to Pyongyang from Gwangju and who from the North will fly in the aircraft.

Gwangju will host an inter-Korean event marking the sixth anniversary of the declaration from June 14th to 17th, with some one-hundred-50 city residents and a hundred foreigners expected to attend.
