South Korea to Overhaul Airport Structures After Fatal Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 Crash at Muan, Killing 179
Jan 13, 2025, 08:34 AM
South Korea plans to overhaul the structures housing the antenna that guide landings at its airports following the fatal crash of a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 plane in December at Muan International Airport. The transport ministry, which has been inspecting safety conditions since the crash, announced the move to change the so-called 'localizer' structures. Seven domestic airports, including Muan, were found to have embankments or foundations made of concrete or steel that need to be changed. The ministry aims to complete these improvements by the end of 2025. Additionally, the shutdown of Muan International Airport has been extended until January 19 to continue investigations into the crash, which resulted in 179 deaths.
