Korean Air expects recovery; Delta sees improvement

INCHEON, South Korea, Nov 5 (Reuters) - South Korea's top airline and the world's biggest air cargo carrier Korean Air Co expects a significant recovery this and next year on stablising oil prices and a stronger won KRW=, its CEO said on Thursday.

But Korean Air (003490.KS) CEO Cho Yang-ho told a news conference that the spread of the H1N1 flu virus was adding uncertainty to the industry outlook.

Richard Anderson, CEO of Delta Airlines (DAL.N), the world's largest airline, said the airline industry had seen steady improvement since mid-2009 and that he was seeing positive signs in business travel. (Reporting by Rhee So-eui and Shin Jieun; Editing by Jonathan Hopfner)
