Under the proposed acquisition, Korean Air would become the top shareholder of indebted Asiana.
The four European routers affected are Barcelona, Frankfurt, Paris, and Rome.

The EU watchdog will decide by July 5 whether to clear or block the deal. The deadline can be extended depending on whether the companies offer remedies to address the EU concerns.
