Korean Air & Asiana Merger: What’s The Latest?

The South Korean airline merger of Asiana Airlines and Korean Air is presumed to win the European Union antitrust approval, which will support Korean Air's plan to purchase the Star Alliance carrier. This comes after the suggestion that its cargo subsidiary, Asiana Cargo, will be sold off, and four of its direct routes (Barcelona, Frankfurt, Paris, and Rome) will be shared with other carriers to take up the opportunity on the route.
