"Breaking the Cycle of Customs and Malpractices Is the Only Way to Save Korean Air in Crisis"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Cho Hyun-ah, former Vice President of Korean Air, stated on the 18th regarding allegations that a senior Korean Air executive received rebates in exchange for purchasing aircraft from Airbus, "If illegal activities are revealed in the future, those responsible must bear corresponding responsibility and punishment."

Through her legal representative, the law firm One, Cho said, "Those involved in this incident, regardless of their rank or status, must sincerely participate in the process of uncovering the truth."

Cho first described the rebate issue as "a shameful matter that should never have occurred," adding, "As a shareholder who supports the professional management system to revive Korean Air and the Hanjin Group, and as a member of the founding family, I feel an immense responsibility."

She then drew a clear line, stating, "I have not been involved in any illegal decision-making related to the rebates," emphasizing, "I believe that breaking the chain of illegal practices and bad customs is the only way to save Korean Air in crisis."

Cho also said, "I am no exception in the process of clearly revealing the related incident," and added, "I will participate in all future processes with integrity and sincerity."
