muan, south korea - A passenger plane belonging to Jeju Air crashed while attempting to land at Musan International Airport in Muan, South Korea, resulting in the loss of 179 lives. The aircraft had been chartered by a travel agency and made 13 flights to 6 countries within 48 hours before the tragic accident.

A passenger plane operated by Jeju Air crashed in Muan, South Korea, leaving 179 passengers dead. The aircraft had been chartered by a travel agency and conducted 13 flights to 6 countries within a 48-hour period before the accident occurred.

Following a warning about a flock of birds, the pilot made a distress call, and the plane crashed into a retaining wall on the 19th runway, resulting in a catastrophic accident where only 2 flight attendants survived.

The South Korean authorities are conducting investigations into the crash, and a noteworthy report in the local media revealed that most of the passengers on the aircraft, who perished in the crash, were customers of a budget travel agency selling New Year flight packages.

The plane, chartered by a South Korea-based tour operator Y for charter flights, was a return flight for a group traveling to Thailand for the Christmas holiday festival. Prior to the crash, the aircraft, chartered by tour operator Y, had conducted its last four flights, two of which were also chartered by major tour operators Hana Tour and Modo Tour.

Jeju Air reported conducting a total of 13 flights within the 48 hours before the crash, including domestic trips to Muan, Jeju, and Incheon International Airports, as well as international flights from China to Thailand, Malaysia, Japan, and Taiwan.

According to a three-month report by Jeju Air, the airline was reported to have conducted the most flights among domestic airlines in South Korea with an average monthly working time of 418 hours per passenger aircraft in its fleet, achieving the highest revenue last year after suffering losses for three consecutive years during the Covid-19 pandemic.

Jeju Air denied any negligence in maintenance that could have caused the crash, stating that they conduct comprehensive and timely maintenance of their aircraft, including all routine pre- and post-flight checks.

Identification of the deceased and the process of delivering their bodies to families is ongoing, with the South Korean Ministry of Transport confirming the identification of 141 individuals so far.

The airport waiting lounge was filled with cries and tears of elderly family members of the victims, with heart-wrenching scenes of grief and sorrow piercing the air.
