Asiana Airlines Inc., South Korea's No. 2 flag carrier, was ordered Friday to suspend its services to San Francisco for 45 days as punishment for a passenger jet crash in the U.S. city last year that left three people dead.
Under Friday's decision by a seven-member review committee, Asiana will be barred from operating its Incheon-San Francisco route for the penalty period from a date of its own choosing, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said.
Asiana Airlines will have 15 days to appeal the decision, the ministry said. (Yonhap)
