Before it suffered the deadliest crash in South Korea's history, budget airline Jeju Air was moving fast: racking up record passenger numbers and flying its aircraft more than domestic rivals and many of its global peers,

After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

South Korea plans to review the concrete walls positioned just beyond the end of some airport runways after an aircraft attempting an emergency landing smashed into one just over a week ago, killing almost everyone on board.

Ultimately, the plane crashed, killing 179 people in South Korea’s worst aviation disaster. A standard pre-flight inspection found “no issues” with the Jeju Air passenger plane before it crashed.

Search operations at the site of the Jeju Air plane crash concluded on Saturday, one week after the devastating accident claimed 179 lives. Officials announced that all 179 bodies have been recovered, with 151 already returned to their families along with identified personal belongings.

Video from the scene and aircraft positioning data offer clues about the deadliest aviation disaster in years.

Joo Jong-wan, the deputy transport minister for civil aviation, acknowledged that safety measures were not sufficient when building the embankment, but said they were done in line

South Korea’s transport minister is resigning because he feels “heavy responsibility” for the Jeju Air crash that killed 179 people last month. A Jeju Air aircraft carrying 181 passengers and crew crashed at the Muan international airport on 29 December in what was the country’s worst air disaster.

Da Nang and Phu Quoc have seen a sharp decline in South Korean tourist arrivals as a fear of flying has taken hold following the Jeju Air crash.

South Korea's transport minister Park Sang-woo said on Tuesday that he intends to step down from his position to take responsibility for the deadly crash of Jeju Air's Boeing jet on December 29, which killed 179 people on board.
