It's the first big consolidation in the airline industry since the global travel slump began.

It's also likely a relief for heavily indebted a Ziana, which was kept going in September by a cash injection from creditors to pay for the deal.

對於負債累累的阿齊亞納來說，這也很可能是一種解脫，9月份，阿齊亞納通過債權人的注資來支付這筆交易的現金，使其得以繼續營運。

Korean Air says it will issue new shares next year, with any excess funds raised used to pay off debts.

大韓航空表示，明年將發行新股，多餘的募集資金將用於償還債務。

The tie up will also integrate the two airlines budget carriers, including Airbus on and Air Soul.

It all marks the biggest shake up in South Korea's air travel market since a Ziana was founded ahead of the 1988 Seoul Olympics.
