Korean Air Spearheading the Korean Airline Industry Consolidation

By Douglas Kim

  • Nearly four years have passed since Korean Air first proposed a merger with Asiana Airlines in November 2020. Despite repeated delays, it appears that this merger could finally occur.
  • There is now a higher probability of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines receiving the final merger approval from the United States Department of Justice. 
  • Combined with attractive valuations, better balance sheet, and improved profitability from the merged entity, we believe that Korean Air shares could continue to outperform KOSPI in the next 12 months.
