Korean Air Lines has stopped carrying shark fin cargo, in a bid to join global efforts to save endangered shark species.
The decision, which took effect on June 10, came three months after government delegates at the triennial World's Wildlife Conference in Thailand voted to protect five shark species by controlling their trade and harvest.
Asiana Airlines also said it has decided to stop flying shark fin cargo, though it did not give a specific time frame.
The Korean airlines move comes after Air New Zealand and Cathay Pacific halted flying sharks fin cargo.■
