Did you guys hear the same and do you suppose that would mean OZ would remain in *A through 2026 and exit in 2027?
In my view, Asiana will likely
withdraw from Star Alliance around January 2026, and the
full merger with Korean Air will be completed by late 2026.
That’s why I expect
January 2026 will be the timing of Asiana’s withdrawal from Star Alliance. The postponement of its move from Incheon Airport Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 — mainly to ensure smoother transfers for Star Alliance passengers — aligns with this timeline.
