SEOUL (XINHUA) - Asiana Airlines, South Korea's second-biggest air carrier, would be put up for sale in the near future as its parent company, Kumho Asiana Group, was struggling with liquidity crunch and massive debts. Kumho Asiana Group decided to sell off its flagship unit of Asiana Airlines through the board of directors' meeting of Kumho Industrial, the largest shareholder of the air carrier that owned a 33.47 per cent stake, local media reported on Monday (April 15). The stake was valued at about 300 billion won (S$358 million). Shares of Asiana Airlines jumped the daily permissible limit of 30 per cent to finish at 7,280 won. When taking into account the management premium of the airline's affiliates, the acquisition cost was estimated at over 1 trillion won. Park Sam-koo, former Kumho Asiana Group chairman who resigned last month as chief executive of Asiana Airlines, controls an express bus operator Kumho Business, which in turn is the biggest shareholder of the Kumho … [Read more...] about South Korea’s Asiana Airlines to be put up for sale

Mazda’s laggard set for sales fast lane after facelift
This year, Mazda hasn’t introduced any all-new models, but that hasn’t stopped the Japanese manufacturer from registering a thundering 44 per cent growth in sales for the first seven months of 2018. The facelifted Mazda2 and Mazda3 launched earlier this year, along with the new CX-5 introduced late last year, and even the BT-50 PRO pickup truck, all enjoyed growth, reflecting the rising popularity of the Mazda brand in the Kingdom. The only Mazda model that saw sales falling during this period is the CX-3 subcompact crossover, with unit sales from January to July sliding by 14 per cent. But that’s about to change for the better, because the facelifted model, which Mazda calls 2018 Collection, is here. The 2018 CX-3 gets a good deal of improvements considering that it’s a mid-life upgrade, and this reflects how competitive the automobile market has become these days. In front, the radiator grille has a lower number of vents and the chrome bar design … [Read more...] about Mazda’s laggard set for sales fast lane after facelift
