JAKARTA – The families of the victims of the Jeju Air plane who had a fatal accident in December 2024 filed criminal charges against 15 people including South Korean government officials and representatives of aviation safety.
As reported by Reuters on Tuesday, May 13, the families of 72 victims of Jeju Air accidents on December 29 filed legal action against officials including South Korean Transport Minister Park Sang-woo regarding negligence in managing safety risks and violations of the Aviation Safety Act.
An accident at Muan Airport, South Korea, killed 179 people, the country’s deadliest air disaster.
The statement released by the victim’s family’s lawyer said a more thorough investigation was needed regarding the decision to try to return to the mainland as soon as the bird hits, maintenance of aircraft engines, and whether the construction of the runway embankment was correct.
The Air Boeing 737-800 probe surpassed the runway at Muan Airport during an emergency landing and hit a embankment containing navigation equipment known as a Locater, killing all but two of the 181 passengers and crew.
