Profile on South Korea

There are great differences in the performances of Asian and North American airlines, just as regulatory variances between their respective governments influence growth rates. Today round two in the battle for the trans-Pacific market has begun. In the last decade ultra-long-haul non-stops by Thai Airways and Singapore Airlines, were introduced – and each withdrawn recently. Over the past decade the trans-Pacific duelling was among North and Southeast Asian airlines, as their North American airline peers remained preoccupied with bankruptcy, followed by consolidation. Rapid expansion will continue to impact yields and profits negatively, but airlines will remain focused on the long term. 16-Jul-2014 12:35 PM 26-Jun-2014 9:50 AM.
