Asiana Airlines is one of the leading airlines in Korea, with a current fleet of 83, which operates more than 90 international and 14 domestic routes. Asiana Airlines started operations in 1988, eventually ending the monopoly created by Korean Air (the leading airline in South Korea), as Korean Air was the only airline operator in the country for two decades. Asiana Airlines has a decent safety record, with just six safety incidents since 2000, though two of them were fatal, killing five people. An Asiana Airlines Boeing 747-400F crashed into the sea off Jeju, South Korea, killing both pilots in 2011. The other fatal occurrence was at San Francisco International Airport during a landing incident involving an Asiana Airlines Boeing 777-200 passenger jet, which killed three passengers.
