As safety concerns were raised due to a series of landing gear problems, Jeju Air said it would conduct a more thorough inspection.

In particular, 39 of Jeju Air's 41 aircraft are the same model as the accidental passenger plane and the return passenger plane.

As passengers became anxious, 68,000 Jeju Air tickets were canceled one day after the plane disaster.

However, Jeju Air drew a line on the suspension of flights.

Regarding the airline's own special inspection, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said it will follow the special inspection.

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

There are 101 low-cost airlines operating this model in Korea, and Jeju Air operates the most.

[Joo Jong-wan / Director of Aviation Policy, Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport: We plan to conduct a total of 101 surveys on the maintenance history of major systems such as aircraft engines and landing gears for six airlines.]

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

Apart from this, Jeju Air plans to do its best to support bereaved families.

He said he will also proceed with the necessary funeral procedures in the way the bereaved family wants.

After that, when the funeral process is completed, insurance-related consultations will also begin at the time the bereaved family wants.

Jeju Air said the plane is distributed to five insurance companies and has been re-registered in the UK, and officials from British reinsurers have entered the country and started discussions.
