Today, Jeju Air announced its additional position on supporting bereaved families and handling insurance in the future, right?

[Reporter]
Yes, Jeju Air held a briefing here this morning.

First of all, I expressed my condolences once again to those who lost their lives and their bereaved families in this accident.

He then expressed his position on how to support bereaved families and how to deal with insurance in the future.

Let's listen directly to the Jeju Air official.

[Song Kyung-hoon / Head of Jeju Air's Management Support Division: We will respect the way the bereaved families want and proceed in the way the bereaved families want.]

Regarding the insurance payment, the accident machine is distributed to five insurance companies and the reinsurer entered our country last night.

At the same time, he explained that he plans to start discussing insurance processing within today.

The specific insurance payment method will be discussed when the funeral process is completed and the bereaved family requests it, he said.

In addition, he said he would not spare any support for the recovery of the surviving crew members.

There was another landing gear abnormality on Jeju Air's same plane early this morning, and did you have a position on this?

[Reporter]
Yes. Jeju Air said an abnormal signal was detected in the landing gear shortly after takeoff.

He then explained that the captain communicated with the ground and took action, and then it worked normally.

However, the captain said he decided to return for safety operations and inspections.

As safety concerns were raised due to a series of landing gear problems, Jeju Air said it would check more thoroughly and do its best for maintenance.

In particular, 39 of Jeju Air's 41 aircraft are the same model as the aircraft that crashed and returned today.

So, at today's briefing, there was also a question about whether to suspend the flight, but Jeju Air drew the line that there were no plans to suspend the flight.

When asked if there was a special inspection by the airline itself, he answered that he would comply with the special inspection by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport.

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport has today decided to conduct a special inspection of the Boeing 737-800, the model of the accident.

There are 101 of this model in Korea and most of the low-cost domestic airlines operate it, and Jeju Air operates the most.

At the same time, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport decided to dispatch an aviation safety supervisor to Jeju Air to implement intensive aviation safety supervision.
