South Korea’s transport minister announced on Tuesday his intention to step down from his post over the fatal plane crash at Muan International Airport last month.
Jeju Air 7C2216, which departed Bangkok, Thailand, for the southwestern South Korean city of Muan on Dec. 29, 2024, belly-landed, overshot the runway, and hit an embankment before bursting into flames in a catastrophic incident that resulted in the deaths of 179 on board the Boeing 737.
