Asiana to chair AAPA in 2011
Asiana Airlines, one of Korea’s two flagship carriers, has been elected to chair the Association of Asia Pacific Airlines (AAPA) in 2011 at the group’s annual meeting held in Brunei on Friday. The AAPA has 16 members.
Asiana CEO Yoon Young-doo said that at the Brunei meeting the company will do its best to strengthen the AAPA’s global status and successfully hold the 55th general meeting in 2011.
“It is such an honor to represent the group of leading Asian airlines next year. The selection is more meaningful to us, with only seven days left before the G20 Seoul Summit,” Yoon said.
