According to the fire authorities, a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok with 181 people on board caused an accident at 9:03 a.m. on the 29th while landing on the runway at Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do. The plane made a fuselage landing on the runway with the landing gear inoperative due to a malfunction believed to be a tidal current collision, and exploded significantly when it crashed into the outer wall of the airport without slowing down.
