SEOUL, South Korea -- Asiana Airlines said Wednesday it no longer plans to sue a San Francisco TV station over the use of racially offensive names.
The South Korean air carrier said KTVU-TV apologized for using fake names for four pilots on a plane that crashed in San Francisco International Airport on July 6.
Asiana said their management wants to focus on supporting affected passengers and families. The crash killed three and injured dozens.
Last week, an anchor of KTVU-TV read the fake names, apparently someone's idea of a prank to use fake Asian-style names that sounded out distress calls and curse words on air and then apologized after a break.
Earlier, Asiana said it would sue the TV station after claiming that the station ruined the reputation of the airlines. (AP)
