It was a good run while it lasted, but I doubt OZ will survive in any recognizable form after the next big recession/depression hits. PRK is just too small to support two major airlines, especially now that it has launched a PR war with its closest (in more ways than one) neighbor over restitution payments to a couple survivors over something that happened 75+ years ago. The slump in demand from the current outbreak in China may alone be enough to push OZ over the edge. First they turned their back on Japan, and now they effectively lose the Chinese market for at least the immediate future.
