Jeju Air

South Korea has marked the one-year anniversary of the Jeju Air crash that killed 179 people on December 29, 2024. The ceremony featured a memorial service at Muan International Airport, where President Lee Jae Myung offered his deepest apology and pledged a credible probe into the cause of the crash.

The Korean National Assembly has approved an independent investigation into the Jeju Air crash that killed 179 people. The probe will be led by a cross-party committee and will examine the cause of the crash, potential design flaws in Muan Airport's localizer structure, and government agency responses to the incident.
