Thank you for listening to the AirlineGeeks Podcast. First, we discuss the status of the aviation industry in Central and South America, including what governments are doing to combat the coronavirus pandemic and what what airlines in the region have in their future – both due to voluntary and involuntary actions. Next, we discuss recent news that Norwegian Air is running short on cash and may be forced to close by the end of the winter season. (Note: after recording, Norwegian did apply for bankruptcy protection in Ireland, the latest development in its financial struggles.) Last, we discuss the announcement that Korean Air, the flag carrier of South Korea, will buy a majority stake in competitor Asiana and what some if the implications of the deal may be.
