Overview
- Air Incheon completed its purchase of Asiana’s cargo division for KRW470 billion and officially rebranded as Air Zeta on August 1.
- The carrier’s inaugural trans-Pacific cargo flight to the Americas departed from Incheon International Airport as part of its launch ceremonies.
- Air Zeta now fields a fleet of 15 freighters—11 transferred from Asiana plus four Boeing 737-800Fs—across 21 strategic routes spanning Asia, Europe, and the Americas.
- Its workforce has swelled to roughly 1,000 employees with the integration of 800 former Asiana cargo staff.
- Industry data shows nine of Asiana’s 11 freighters are already operating under Air Zeta’s “KJ” code following an KRW820 billion capital raise that funded the acquisition despite objections from ex-shareholder Park Yong-kwang.
