South Korea orders air safety probe after worst crash in country kills 179
- SEOUL (Reuters) - South Korea's acting President Choi Sang-mok on Monday ordered an emergency safety inspection of the country's entire airline operation system once the recovery work on the Jeju Air crash is finished.
Following South Korea's worst air disaster, Acting President Hwang Kyo-ahn has ordered a comprehensive inspection of the country's airline systems. This directive comes in the wake of a tragic incident where a Boeing 737-800 operated by Asiana Airlines crashed upon landing at Seoul's Gimhae International Airport, resulting in the death of 141 passengers and crew members. The inspection aims to scrutinize safety protocols, maintenance procedures, and operational standards across all airlines to prevent future tragedies. The focus will be on enhancing safety measures, ensuring compliance with international aviation standards, and addressing any systemic issues that might have contributed to the accident. This move underscores the government's commitment to aviation safety and reflects a broader effort to restore public confidence in air travel within South Korea.
