The Chosun Ilbo (English Edition): Daily News from Korea - Korean Air, Mongolian Airlines Caught in Collusion: "Korean Air has been caught by the Fair Trade Commission for obstructing rival Asiana Airlines from opening flights to Mongolia. "Korean Air and MIAT Mongolian Airlines have been caught persuading the Mongolian government through unfair practices to block rival Asiana Airlines from opening flights there," the Fair Trade Commission said on Monday.

The FTC said the moves constituted collusion and ordered the Korean carrier to halt the practice. Korean Air and MIAT have jointly operated the Incheon-Ulan Bator route since the two countries signed an aviation pact in 1991, with each carrier running six flights each per week."
