S. Korea’s parliament begins investigation into Jeju Air crash
(MENAFN) South Korea’s National Assembly has initiated an official investigation into last year’s Jeju Air crash, which resulted in the deaths of 179 passengers, according to reports.
A special parliamentary committee of 18 lawmakers has begun the probe, which is expected to continue for at least 40 days. The committee will examine potential causes of the accident, including a possible bird strike and mechanical issues with the aircraft.
The inquiry will also investigate whether any attempts were made to conceal information during the government’s initial investigation into the crash.
On December 29, 179 of the 181 people on board a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok were killed after the plane attempted an emergency landing at Muan International Airport, approximately 290 kilometers (180 miles) south of Seoul. The aircraft overshot the runway, struck a concrete barrier, and caught fire. Only two crew members survived the disaster.
Families of the victims have voiced concerns over the transparency and credibility of the government-led investigation, calling for an independent review to ensure accountability and uncover the full circumstances surrounding the crash.
