The South Korean government will review safety systems associated with emergency landings at airports across the country following the fatal Jeju Air crash, which killed 179 people. The plan includes removing the concrete embankment at Muan International Airport.

Korea plans to strengthen its oversight of low-cost carriers (LCCs) and impose strict penalties on airlines failing to meet enhanced operational safety standards, the government said Thursday, following last month's Jeju Air crash.

South Korean authorities will increase their scrutiny of the country's low-cost airline sector, including tightening the criteria for MRO workers and enforcing stricter rules on network expansion.

A total of 179 died in the crash, with just two crew members surviving in one of the nation’s worst aviation disasters.

South Korean authorities have discovered bird feathers and blood in both engines at the site of the Jeju Air crash that killed 179 people on December 29, 2024.

The nation’s transport ministry reviewed structures near airport runways after the deadly crash of a Jeju Air flight late last month.

The transport ministry instructed nine low-cost carriers to improve safety standards and avoid prioritising cost-cutting.

The deadliest plane crash in South Korea's history is triggering a change at the country's airports. The BBC reports the concrete barriers that contain navigation systems at seven airports will be altered in the wake of the crash,
