Korean Air’s (KAL) proposed takeover of Asiana Airlines received a boost this month, when the UK Competition and Markets Authority cleared the transaction after accepting KAL’s commitment to facilitate the entry of Virgin Atlantic on the London Heathrow-Seoul Incheon route. The proposed merger still requires the green light from several regulators.

There was consolidation activity in Japan with ANA HOLDINGS INC. (ANAHD) announcing its intention to acquire Nippon Cargo Airlines from Yusen Kaisha (NYK). The purchase added NCA’s eight 747-8Fs and five 747-400Fs freighters to ANA’s cargo fleet.

Air India confirmed the Vistara brand will be retired when the merger of the two Tata Group airlines is complete.

The reopening of China’s international border remained front-and-centre this month as the country resumed issuing visas for foreign visitors to enter the mainland and reopened destinations, including Hainan, to visa-free travel.

New Thai Airways International (THAI) CEO, Chai Eamsiri, told an aviation conference this month the Thailand flag carrier was in revival mode but there would be no rush to return to pre-pandemic capacity levels. THAI prefers to focus on the quality rather than the quantity of its revenue as it rebuilds the balance sheet and shores up its financial position, he said.

In other Thailand news, former Nok Air CEO, Patee Sarasin, unveiled plans for Really Cool Airlines, to be positioned in the market mid-point between full service airlines and LCCs. It plans to start flying in 2024.

Just wanted to thank Mr. Jerry for everything you have done for us. In less than 15days of working with you, our credit score was raised high enough to be able to qualify for a mortgage loan that we were not able to before. Besides that, everyone there was so professional and friendly and easy to work with that it made the whole experience quite enjoyable. I have already recommended you to several people and will continue to recommend your services to everybody I come in contact with.

Do not invest in any trading platform, there is nothing such as get rich quick, it doesn't always end well. I was also a victim to this kind of scam. An Asian girl introduced me to ibitminers and i got really deep into their shit and all i can say is these scammers are good at what they do. I was allowed to withdraw a little amount which i believed was to build my trust but they sucked me dried and i never got my capital after all was said and done. I lost a ton of asset and when i reported to local authorities i was told since crypto is untraceable, there is nothing they can do about it. I couldn't get any help from them until i contracted the service of a professional ethical hacker. He hacked into the eth wallet address i made payment to and retrieved my stolen crypto and he showed me the transaction history of these scammers, I was in shock. If you find yourself lost in the depths of lost Bitcoin, facebook and Whatsapp hacking to catch your cheating partner, let Osecybersailing's team guide you towards the light of redemption.
