[Photo] The Fate of Korean Air and Asiana Integration... Court Decision Expected as Early as Today

As the court's decision on Korean Air's acquisition of Asiana Airlines approaches, a Korean Air passenger plane is landing on the runway at Gimpo Airport in Gangseo-gu, Seoul on the 30th. The Seoul Central District Court is expected to deliver a verdict today or tomorrow on the injunction request filed by activist private equity fund KCGI against Hanjin KAL to prohibit the issuance of new shares. If the court dismisses the injunction request, the acquisition process will accelerate, but if the injunction is granted, the acquisition is likely to be canceled./Reporter Kim Hyun-min kimhyun81@
