SEOUL -- South Korea's corporate watchdog is investigating unfair business practices at Korean Air Lines Co., whose founding family members are under fire for abusing employees and contractors, industry sources said Tuesday.

According to the sources, the Fair Trade Commission (FTC) has conducted an on-site probe into the airline's in-flight duty-free business to look into whether founding family members have reaped unfair profits.

In 2016, the FTC imposed a fine of 1.43 billion won ($1.2 million) on Korean Air Lines for similar unfair practices involving two of its affiliates.
