At the time of the Jeju Air flight disaster, it was confirmed that the runway at Muan Airport was shorter than the original length due to construction.

The Muan Airport runway, which was originally 2,800 meters long, was only 2,500 meters long at the time of the accident, the ministry said.

Therefore, it is estimated that the distance of the aircraft's final landing and then sliding into the fuselage was also shorter than the original calculation, resulting in higher collision strength.

The Muan airport's runway was 2.8 kilometers in the 01 direction and 2.5 kilometers in the 19th direction due to construction, the ministry said, which was also announced in the air notice.
