Earlier, on the 29th of last month, Jeju Air flight 7C2216, departing from Suvarnabhumi Airport in Thailand, attempted a belly landing (landing by sliding the aircraft fuselage on the runway without the landing gear deployed) on the runway at Muan Airport with the landing gear not extended. However, after about 10 seconds, the aircraft veered approximately 300 meters off the runway and collided with a concrete outer wall, resulting in a loud crash and the aircraft breaking apart, with most of the fuselage engulfed in flames. There were a total of 181 people on board, including 175 passengers and 6 crew members. According to the Fire Agency's tally, 179 people died and 2 were rescued. Consequently, the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster became the deadliest aviation accident in South Korea. A Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport official stated, "The investigation period for passenger plane accidents usually takes from six months to as long as three years," adding, "Since various factors such as aircraft issues, pilot procedures, and external causes need to be examined, it will take a long time."
Meanwhile, Kim Seon-min, acting leader of the Innovation Party, announced the day after the disaster that a 'Jeju Air Passenger Plane Disaster Response Committee' would be formed to actively support the bereaved families. Acting leader Kim said, "We have designated this week as a mourning period and will prioritize accident response and memorial activities," adding, "Acting President Choi Sang-mok is dedicating efforts to managing the disaster response. The Innovation Party will fully support these efforts." The committee chairperson will be House Leader Hwang Un-ha.
