| Name origin | Wikipedia says Asiana was formed by the Kumho Asiana Group (then Kumho Group) as Seoul Air International, but the sources used here do not explain where the name Asiana comes from. It looks like a blend of "Asia" with a Korean-sounding ending, which is only an observation, not a documented origin. | Korean Air means simply the airline of Korea. The state-owned carrier of 1962 was called Korean Air Lines, and the name was shortened to Korean Air on 1 March 1984 when the new logo and livery appeared. |
