After a Jeju Air plane crash-landed in southwestern South Korea in December 2024, killing all but two of the 181 people on board, a clip was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed footage from inside the passenger cabin before the crash.

South Korea’s leading low-cost carrier, heavy with debt and its stock already near record lows, is now facing intense public and government scrutiny.

All 179 victims of the fatal Jeju Air crash have been laid to rest as of Wednesday, 10 days after the worst aviation disaster on Korean soil.

After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

Two people, both flight attendants, are the only survivors of the crash and are being treated at South Korean hospitals.

Search operations at the site of the Jeju Air plane crash concluded on Saturday, one week after the devastating accident claimed 179 lives. Officials announced that all 179 bodies have been recovered, with 151 already returned to their families along with identified personal belongings.

The time between when the pilot reported a bird strike and when it crashed could be crucial to unraveling one of the worst aviation disasters in years.

Shares of South Korean budget carrier Jeju Air hit their lowest on record on Monday, after the deadliest air crash in the country killed 179 people.
