A strike by pilots at Korean Air has disrupted services at South Korea's largest airline. The stoppage, which followed a pay dispute, forced the airline to cancel more than 200 passenger and cargo flights; the Korean government has said it is prepared to use emergency powers to force the pilots back to work. Unions representing about two-thirds of the airline's pilots are pushing for an 8 percent rise in annual pay.
