Asiana Airlines' pilots union says it has sent a letter to the European Commission, EC, asking it to finally disallow mergers and acquisitions with Korean Air.

The letter contains claims that Yoon Chang-burn, an advisor to Kim & Chang who participated in the resolution of Asiana Airlines' board of directors in November last year, is an interested party of Korean Air and is inappropriate to exercise voting rights.

At that time, the board of directors approved the sale of Asiana Airlines' cargo business, and it is argued that there is room for conflict of interest as Kim & Chang, which Yoon belongs to, has provided legal advice on business combinations to Korean Air.

The union also raised issues with the cargo division about the right to reject the succession of cargo plane pilots to be hired and succeeded to Air Incheon and said the operation of independent and stable cargo routes was unclear.

It also asked T'way Airlines, which has taken over four European passenger routes, to closely examine its operational capabilities.
