South Korea released a preliminary report into last month’s crash of Jeju Air Co., which killed all but two passengers and crew members. The report focuses on the role of bird strikes in the incident, which occurred during the plane’s belly landing at Muan International Airport, leading to an overrun and subsequent crash into an embankment, resulting in a fireball explosion. While the findings provide insights into the final moments of the flight and engine performance analysis, key questions remain unanswered as the investigation continues.
