This is not a joint venture, not an alliance switch, and not an equity stake. JAL remains in Oneworld. Korean Air remains in SkyTeam.

Hanjin Group took a 64 percent stake in December 2024, but the two airlines carried on operating largely separately for another eighteen months.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>That ends on 17 December. One brand, one operating certificate, one loyalty programme \u2014 Asiana Club is absorbed into SKYPASS, with flight-earned miles converting one for one.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>For Star Alliance frequent flyers it is straightforwardly bad news. Asiana has long been one of the better transpacific business-class redemptions available to United MileagePlus and Aeroplan members, and those bookings stop being available.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-left:4px solid #d32f2f;padding:20px 22px;margin:18px 0 24px;font-size:16px;line-height:1.7;display:flex;gap:20px;align-items:flex-start\"><div><em>&ldquo;There goes a majority of flights to Korea with Star Alliance rewards points.&rdquo;<\/em><div style=\"margin-top:10px;font-size:14px;color:#555\"><strong>A Star Alliance frequent flyer<\/strong> &mdash; posting on Reddit, quoted by Business Traveller<\/div><\/div><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For SkyTeam members, and particularly Delta, it is the opposite. Asiana\u2019s transpacific flights move into the Delta-Korean Air joint venture, and Delta passengers gain access to Asiana\u2019s Asian network on a single booking out of Incheon.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">Why JAL wants a seat at this table<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Japan and South Korea between them generate one of the densest short-haul international markets on earth, and both Seoul-Incheon and Tokyo-Haneda function as long-haul gateways for the region. When one of the two Korean flag carriers absorbs the other, everything about how traffic flows between the two countries gets renegotiated.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>JAL has chosen to renegotiate before the merger rather than after it. That is not glamorous, but it is the sort of decision that determines who gets the connecting passenger in 2028.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;margin:24px 0\"><iframe class=\"skip-lazy\" data-no-lazy=\"1\" loading=\"eager\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/m_hEh-6RVJE\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The Korean Air-Asiana merger, explained ahead of the 17 December integration date.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<h2 style=\"padding-top:22px\">The competition question<\/h2>\r\n\r\n<p>Regulators worldwide spent years worrying about exactly this. To get approval, Korean Air agreed to give up slots and traffic rights on 34 international and domestic routes \u2014 handing Incheon to London Heathrow to Virgin Atlantic, and Incheon to Los Angeles, San Francisco and Honolulu to the small Korean carrier Air Premia.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Whether that works is doubtful. Air Premia has nine aircraft, no traditional business class, and has already cut frequencies on its Los Angeles service. On the routes that matter most, the merged Korean Air will face considerably less pressure than Asiana used to apply.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Which is, in the end, why JAL signed. A bigger, less-constrained Korean Air is a more valuable partner \u2014 and a more dangerous competitor to be outside of.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n<style>.mfq{margin:34px 0 8px}.mfq h2{font:26px\/1.3 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117;padding-top:22px;margin:0 0 6px}.mfq .qa details{border-top:1px solid #5C91FF;margin:0;padding:0}.mfq .qa details:last-of-type{border-bottom:1px solid #e2e7ee}.mfq .qa summary{cursor:pointer;list-style:none;display:flex;justify-content:space-between;align-items:center;gap:16px;padding:22px 26px;font:18px\/1.7 \"Gilroy semiBold\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#0d1117}.mfq .qa summary::-webkit-details-marker{display:none}.mfq .qa summary::after{content:\"+\";font:24px Helvetica,sans-serif;color:#3568e0;flex:0 0 auto}.mfq .qa details[open] summary::after{content:\"\\2013\"}.mfq .qa details:hover summary{color:#3568e0}.mfq .qa .a{font:16px\/1.7 \"Gilroy regular\",Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif;color:#454e5e;padding:0 26px 24px}.mfq .qa .a a{color:#3568e0}@media(max-width:680px){.mfq .qa summary{padding:18px 14px;font-size:17px}.mfq .qa .a{padding:0 14px 20px}}<\/style>\r\n\r\n\r\n<section class=\"mfq\"><h2>Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2><div class=\"qa\"><details open><summary>What have Japan Airlines and Korean Air agreed?<\/summary><div class=\"a\">On 3 September 2026 the two carriers signed a strategic partnership that goes beyond their existing codeshare and frequent-flyer arrangements.
