Japan Airlines has bought a stake in Korean Air's parent company, signaling a new strategic partnership between the two rival carriers.
Big mistake because of language and cultural differences . Mergers ought to be of like entities . Cannot have cats and parakeets together , for example .

I'm sorry, but this is one of the most idiotic posts I've ever seen on this site, and that's saying a lot.
I’m not completely convinced keeping cats and parakeets together is the same thing here.
Could also be a way of Korean/Hanjin ponying up a bit extra cash, since Delta has decided that it no longer wants to be as wholly reliant on Korean Air for all of its Asian traffic that's not going to Tokyo or Shanghai.
Just an additional potential detail.
I wonder whether JAL really benefits from the JV with AA, an airline with barely any presence in the Far East.
Using another example, AFKL cooperate closely with Gol in terms of codeshares, interline tickets etc to secure feed from/to all over Brazil, but they don't need a transatlantic JV with an airline that barely flies to Europe.
