Korean Air was once banned by the Pentagon, dropped by Delta, and losing aircraft at 17 times the rate of United Airlines. Twenty years later, it controls 81% of all US-South Korea routes and commands 73% of South Korea's international aviation market. This is how Korean Air's Chairman Walter Cho pulled off one of the most complex airline mergers in aviation history across 14 regulatory authorities, 4 years, and a $1.5 trillion gamble.CORECTION; Walter Cho is not a Harvard graduate. He received his BA from Inha University in Korea and his MBA from the University of Southern California. I apologise for this factual mistake!
