Korean Air(26,300 +1.15%)Asiana Airlines on the 23rd(4,210 -1.41%) After the acquisition, it denied the observations from inside and outside the aviation industry that it would separate the aircraft maintenance (MRO) division to establish a separate corporation or spin off the aerospace business headquarters.

Korean Air said on the day that “some media reports about the spin-off of the Aerospace Division and MRO’s separate subsidiaries are not true at all.”

After acquiring Asiana Airlines, in the process of integrating, the two companies’ MRO organizations will be integrated and a new corporation will be established.

Korean Air explained that “the existing Korean Air’s own maintenance volume is sufficient,” and “Efficient operation is possible if the maintenance facilities, manpower, and capabilities possessed by the two companies are actively utilized.”

“On the 2nd of this month, Korean Air President Ki-Hong Woo made it clear that he had not reviewed a separate MRO corporation,” he said. “I don’t.”
