Asiana Airlines is South Korea's second-largest airline, founded in 1988 and headquartered in Seoul. Operating an extensive network of international and domestic routes, Asiana connects passengers across Asia, Europe, the Americas, and Oceania from its primary hub at Incheon International Airport. The airline is a member of Star Alliance, the world's largest airline alliance, and has earned a strong reputation for in-flight service and cabin quality. Asiana has received multiple Skytrax awards recognizing it as one of the top airlines in the world. In recent years, Asiana Airlines has been subject to a major acquisition process, with Korean Air pursuing a merger that has undergone extensive regulatory review across multiple jurisdictions. The outcome of this consolidation is expected to significantly reshape the South Korean aviation landscape.
