SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea has been forced to repeatedly shut down runways at the two main airports for the capital, Seoul, since June due to disruption from trash-carrying balloons launched by North Korea, a South Korean lawmaker said Wednesday, citing aviation data. North Korea has launched more than 5,500 balloons with bags of trash attached to them since late May, saying it was responding to balloons carrying propaganda leaflets flown by South Korean activists. The balloons are carried by wind and some have dropped in the South, including near the presidential office and on airport runways. On June 26, Incheon airport runways were closed for a total of 166 minutes, the most over 24 hours, according to aviation data released by Yang’s office. On Monday, the military said it was ready to take “stern military action” if it believed the North had “crossed the line,” but declined to elaborate.

AdvertisementAdvertisementKorean Air, South Korea's flagship airline, plans to weigh passengers before they board flights, saying local laws demand it. AdvertisementAdvertisementKorea JoongAng Daily reported that the airline told it: "The data collated anonymously will be utilized for survey purposes and doesn't mean overweight passengers will need to pay more." There has been an online backlash to the measure, with some potential passengers raising concerns about their privacy, according to the Korea JoongAng Daily. However, the airline told the newspaper that passengers who feel uncomfortable with the process can communicate their feelings to boarding staff. AdvertisementAdvertisementAir New Zealand, however, is asking passengers to step on the scales as part of a "passenger weight survey" to fulfill a requirement by New Zealand's Civil Aviation Authority.

☆ IAEA chief in South Korea to allay Fukushima water dump concerns

No expert behind the IAEA's Fukushima report disagreed with the content, Grossi told news agency Yonhap on Saturday, hinting at his comment during an interview with Reuters one day earlier. Prior to that, Grossi said during a Friday press conference in Japan that he wanted to also meet with the opposition party in South Korea which has been critical of the discharge plan. South Korea's government said on Friday it respected the IAEA's report and that its own analysis had found the release will not have "any meaningful impact" on its waters. But the plan has stirred anger and concern among South Koreans, prompting some shoppers to buy up sea salt. Despite South Korea's assent for the plan, a ban on food and seafood products from the Fukushima region would remain in place.

☆ North Korea's antique fighter jets are still keeping the US and South Korea on their toes

Even with an aging fleet, Pyongyang has been able to catch the attention of South Korea and the US. On October 6, 12 North Korean jets were detected practicing air-to-ground attacks near the DMZ, prompting South Korea to scramble 30 of its fighters. On November 4, 80 South Korean fighters were scrambled after 180 North Korean planes were detected on South Korean radar. The activity and scale is unusual given North Korea's air force is widely regarded as the weakest branch of North Korea's military. South Korean troops guard a MiG-19 used by a North Korean pilot to defect to South Korea in May 1996.

SEOUL, Dec 26 (Reuters) - South Korea scrambled fighter jets and attack helicopters and fired warning shots on Monday after North Korean drones violated its airspace, the South's Yonhap news agency reported. South Korea tracked the drones crossing from North Korea over what is known as the Military Demarcation Line between the two countries, Yonhap reported. South Korea's transport ministry said earlier flights departing from its Incheon and Gimpo airports were suspended following a request from the military. The suspension began at 1:08 p.m. (0408 GMT) at Gimpo and at 1:22 p.m. at Incheon and lasted for about an hour before flight departures resumed at around 2:10 p.m., a ministry official told Reuters.

☆ Reverse Currency War: Why central banks are trying to play catch-up with a record dollar and a hawkish Fed
  + stars: | 2022-09-28 | by ( Phil Rosen | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +7 min
A reverse currency war is underway, with central banks around the world struggling to keep pace with an aggressive Fed and a soaring dollar that's climbing like it's got somewhere better to be. Rather than trying to devalue currencies like in traditional "currency wars," policymakers are doing the reverse in trying to engineer gains. The thinking behind a reverse currency war goes something like this: Central banks want to make their currencies stronger — via monetary policy tightening — so that the US dollar doesn't leave them in the dust. And with central banks focused on monetary tightening, these reverse currency wars raise the odds of a widespread economic downturn. Last week's rate-hike blitz showed that central banks will trigger a downturn, the asset manager said.
