Effective capacity management helped to keep revenue steady during the quarter, while gains from lower fuel prices were offset by higher operating costs, KAL said. "Looking ahead to the third quarter, the airline anticipates strong passenger demand entering the peak summer travel season and plans to maximize revenue through dynamic capacity management on key routes," the flag carrier said.
