Korean Air acquired a 63.88% stake in the country's second-largest airline, making it a subsidiary three years later than Asiana had initially anticipated. The enlarged Korean Air group could account for just over half of South Korea's passenger capacity, and would become the world's 12th-largest airline by international capacity, a Reuters analysis of airline data from Cirium and OAG shows. Korean Air says turbulence is knocking instant noodles off its economy menu Turbulence is knocking a beloved instant-noodle offering off Korean Air's economy menu. Cups of Shin Ramyun instant noodles, a favorite among Korean Air travelers over the years, will no longer be available for economy-class passengers starting Aug. 15, a spokesperson for the Seoul-based airline said. “This decision is part of proactive safety measures in response to increased turbulence, aimed at preventing burn accidents,” Korean Air said. Korean Air cuts hot cup noodles in economy as turbulence rises Korean Air will stop serving instant cup noodles, a popular snack in Korea known as ramyeon that requires boiling water, on its long-haul flights, part of changes in response to increased turbulence incidents. Concerns about turbulence on planes have heightened since a Singapore Airlines flight from London in May encountered a severe incident leading to one death and dozens of injuries. "This decision is part of proactive safety measures in response to increased turbulence, aimed at preventing burn accidents," Korean Air said in a statement on Thursday.

Monday's announcement at the Farnborough Airshow could also include 787 jets, one of the sources said. Boeing declined to comment. Market Chatter: Korean Air Nears Deal for Boeing 777X Jets, Reuters Reports Market Chatter: Korean Air Nears Deal for Boeing 777X Jets, Reuters Reports Air Incheon to consider widebody freighter orders after Asiana cargo purchase Air Incheon, set to become South Korea's second-biggest freight carrier once a deal to buy Asiana Airlines' cargo unit is finalised, will consider both Boeing and Airbus freighters to refresh the widebody fleet, its CEO said. The EU competition regulator last month approved Air Incheon, a small cargo-only carrier with four Boeing 737s, as the preferred bidder to buy Asiana's cargo business, as a condition of approval for it to merge with Korean Air Lines. Boeing nearing deal to sell 777X jets to Korean Air, sources say South Korea's largest carrier has been in talks over a potential return to its traditional supplier of long-haul aircraft for months after placing a surprise order for 33 A350 jets from Boeing's European rival Airbus in March. The sources said the potential new order could involve as many as 20 to 30 of the 777X aircraft, which are worth some $198 million each after typical market discounts, according to estimated delivery prices from Cirium Ascend. Boeing said it does not comment on commercial discussions and referred any queries on Korean's intentions to the airline. Korean Air, Malaysia Airlines flights disrupted by pressurization problems A Korean Air flight to Taiwan was forced to return to Incheon airport west of Seoul after a sudden depressurization on the plane, a Boeing 737 Max 8, the transport ministry said Tuesday.

Separately, Malaysia Airlines said one of its flights en route to Bangkok on Monday made a U-turn back to Kuala Lumpur after the Airbus A-330 experienced a “pressurization issue.” Air Incheon tapped as preferred bidder for Asiana’s freighter business Korean Air will give a small South Korean carrier first crack at buying the freighter assets of Asiana Airlines, as required by EU regulators to approve a Korean-Asiana combination.
