Korean Air has successfully acquired Asiana Airlines, achieving a 63.88pc ownership stake and making it a subsidiary.
The integration process aims to optimize routes, expand service, and enhance safety investments within two years, while maintaining separate operations for now.
A new frequent flyer program will be proposed to the Korea Fair Trade Commission by June 2025, with future details pending regulatory approval.
As Asiana’s ties to Star Alliance diminish, Korean Air will maintain its partnerships within the SkyTeam alliance and merge Asiana’s assets into its own operations.
