韩国交通部航空政策负责人Joo Jong-wan在周一的新闻发布会上表示：“我们计划对（起落架）事故进行严格的航空安全检查。”The South Korean government announced on Monday that it plans to conduct strict safety inspections on the low-cost airline Jeju Air. Previously, the company's aircraft had experienced multiple landing gear issues, leading to a major aviation disaster the day before, which resulted in the deaths of 179 people.
On Sunday morning local time, at the Wooan International Airport in Wooan County, 290 kilometers southwest of Seoul, the airline's flight 7C2216 deviated from the runway upon landing on its belly, collided with a fence and caught fire, resulting in the deaths of all 179 people on board.
Earlier on Monday, another flight of Jeju Air took off from Gimpo International Airport, but due to landing gear issues, it turned back mid-flight, similar to the crash on Sunday. This aircraft is the same model as the Boeing 737-800 involved in Sunday’s incident.
Joo Jong-wan, the head of aviation policy at the South Korean Ministry of Transportation, stated at a press conference on Monday: "We plan to conduct strict aviation safety inspections concerning the landing gear incidents."
