Asiana Airlines has created a task force led by its interim CEO to focus on the challenges associated with the merger of the two Korean flag carriers, and to devote all its resources to obtain approval from foreign antitrust authorities. The team consists of 42 members, including seven executives, and is split into two primary groups: the “General Group” and the “Support Group.” The task force will provide data, which will either be directly submitted to a foreign regulator or transferred to Korean Air’s own task force to compile and submit it to the foreign regulator in question. The merger could be scrapped if it fails to win approval from any one of the three jurisdictions: the European Union, Japan, and the United States. So far, 11 countries, including the UK, have either approved the combination or have concluded their review.
