- South Korea has sought indictments of seven transport ministry officials for allegedly falsifying statements about runway guidance equipment after the 2024 Jeju Air crash — charges could carry up to seven years in prison.
- The Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 skidded off the runway at Muan Airport after landing-gear problems; traces of bird strike were found and the black boxes stopped recording about four minutes before the crash that left 179 of 181 people dead.
- The probe is mired in controversy — experts fault the concrete housing for the airport’s localizer, initial findings suggesting pilot error were pulled after protests by families and pilots, and no formal cause or prosecutions have been confirmed.
