South Korea’s acting President Choi Sang-mok ordered an emergency inspection of the country’s Boeing 737-800s, the type of plane used on the the fatal Jeju Air Flight 7C2216. The Boeing 737-800 is one of the world’s most commonly used airplanes, and it has a strong safety record. The plane involved in the crash was about 15 years old. A full investigation could take longer than a year, and the unusual incident has raised more questions than answers, such as why the landing gear wasn’t deployed. Even with a hydraulic malfunction, Boeing 737-800 pilots can drop the landing gear manually.

The wreckage of the Jeju Air aircraft that went off the runway and crashed lies at Muan International Airport, in Muan, South Korea, December 30, 2024. Aviation experts are questioning the role of an airport design that positioned a mound of dirt and a concrete wall past the end of a runway, which Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 slammed into Sunday morning, killing all but two of the 181 people on board. The plane, a Boeing 737-800, belly-landed on the runway after an overnight flight, apparently with flaps and landing gear retracted. The jetliner burst into flames after hitting the dirt and wall, where a localizer, which guides planes onto the runway, had been installed. It will take crash investigators months if not longer to uncover the cause of the crash, the worst-ever air disaster in South Korea and the deadliest crash in years.

A plane crash at a South Korean airport on Sunday has left at least 85 people dead, The Associated Press reported. Spokespeople for Jeju Air and the National Fire Agency could not immediately be reached for comment. In a statement posted online, Jeju Air said that it was "bowing" its head in apology and that it would address the crash. The tracker says Ryanair, a budget Irish airline, operated the plane before it was delivered to Jeju Air in 2017. The plane landed "without its landing gear extended," the flight tracker said.
