Korean Air has received approval from the European Union for its merger with Asiana Airlines, a move that will create one of the world's largest airline groups. The deal, which was initially announced in November 2020, has faced scrutiny from regulators in various countries, but the EU's green light marks a significant step forward for the merger.
A passenger on an Asiana Airlines flight from Jeju to Daegu in South Korea allegedly opened the plane's emergency door while it was still in the air, causing intense wind to hit the passengers. Lee Yoon-jun, who was seated next to the passenger, recalls feeling the horror of death and subduing the man with the help of other passengers. Investigations into the incident are ongoing, and the mental state of the passenger is being looked into. None of the 200 passengers were seriously injured, but nine suffered from hyperventilation.
A recent incident on an Asiana Airlines flight in South Korea where a passenger opened the emergency exit door mid-flight has raised questions about airplane safety. According to a pilot, airplane doors are designed to be simple to operate in case of an emergency, but they cannot be opened when the cabin is pressurized due to the high forces acting against the door. However, at lower altitudes, the pressure differential is weaker, making it possible to open the door with some force. Asiana Airlines has stopped the sale of select emergency exit seats on some of its aircraft, but it is unlikely that there will be any physical design changes to airplane doors or emergency exits.
A viral picture of an Asiana Airlines flight attendant using her body to block an open plane door mid-flight has been revealed as taken out of context. Asiana Airlines had originally stated that the picture was taken while the plane was moving, but it was actually taken after the flight had landed and the situation had been resolved. Additionally, Asiana Airlines lied about another aspect of the incident, claiming they immediately transferred the man who opened the door to police, when in reality the flight crew had no idea who had opened the door and the man was arrested only after he asked an Asiana employee at the airport if it was illegal to open the emergency door.
