The Korea Development Bank(KDB) will inject 800 billion won for the acquisition of Asiana Airlines by Korean Air(KAL). 

The government reached the decision on Monday during a meeting of related ministers on ways to stabilize operations of the nation’s second-largest carrier. 

The KDB, which is the main creditor of Asiana Airlines, plans to inject 500 billion won into Hanjin KAL, the holding company of Hanjin Group, via a third-party allotment and acquire 300 billion won in exchangeable bonds. 

KAL is aiming to increase its capital by issuing new stocks worth up to two-point-five trillion won.
