The government plans to end its exclusive flight contracts with the country's two flag carriers -- Korean Air Lines Co. and Asiana Airlines Inc. -- this year, to allow its employees to use other airlines, including low-cost carriers, for official travel, the finance ministry said Thursday.
Under the so-called government transportation request, the country's public servants have been required to exclusively use the two airlines for almost 40 years.
