Asiana Airlines, one of South Korea’s leading carriers, is grappling with a pilots’ union strike set to begin on July 24, which initially began last month as a work-to-rule protest over wage increases. 

With about 100 pilots threatening to go on strike, the unrest has already led to the cancellation of two international and 10 domestic flights, while delaying another 56 flights, presenting significant operational and financial challenges for the airline.
