What is the Future of Korean Aviation Post Covid and is There the Potential of a Monopoly Mega Airline?

2021 started weakly for the Korean aviation market, revenue passenger kilometres (RPKs) in January were 72% lower than the same month in 2019 according to IATA and our own InsightIQ Flights analysis. In this detailed report, Finlay Grogan, IBA airlines analyst, uses InsightIQ data to research and evaluate Korean airline performance, including financial reviews, fleet structures, utilisation levels, carbon emissions and future performance and consolidations.

Chinese Lunar New Year domestic traffic plummeted as Covid infections prevented travel during this typically busy period. Pre-pandemic Korean civil aviation enjoyed several years' growth and experienced market overcapacity before Covid's impact forced airlines to seek extensive support from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT), the Korea Development Bank (KDB) and Export-Import Bank of Korea (Korea ExImBank).

 

Since March 2020, KDB has been involved in over KRW 3T (~USD 3B) of financing for Korean carriers. The previously crowded Low-Cost Carrier (LCC) market has been hardest hit by Covid, unable to profit from the positive outlook for cargo; a rebound in manufacturing activity and exports has resulted in Cargo Tonne Kilometres (CTKs) in January being 1.1% higher than pre-Covid levels. With Korean Air parent Hanjin KAL Corp. agreeing to buy Asiana for USD1.6B last November, Korea's two largest airlines will merge to form a combined group with a market monopoly controlling 71% of all Korean commercial aircraft.

 

What does this mean for competition in Korean aviation and the aircraft that will serve it? What is the future of Korean aviation post Covid and is there the potential of a monopoly mega airline?
