The Airbus SE (AIR.PA) A330 widebody flying from Seoul to Cebu had tried to land twice in poor weather before it overran the runway on the third attempt at 23:07 local time, Korean Air said in a statement on Monday. "Passengers have been escorted to three local hotels and an alternative flight is being arranged," the airline said of flight KE361. Korean Air President Keehong Woo issued a letter of apology regarding the flight on the airline's website, noting that a thorough investigation would be performed with local aviation authorities and Korean authorities to determine the cause. Korean Air has not had a fatal passenger crash since 1997, according to Aviation Safety Network, a website that compiles aviation accidents.
