Acting Chairman of the Hangchul Committee, non-executive member of Jeongrakgyo...months for a replacement

For the time being, Jungrakgyo Railway Division's non-executive member will serve as the chairman of the Air Railway Accident Investigation Committee of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, which is investigating the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster.

In this regard, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said that the Air Railroad Accident Investigation Committee appointed Chung as acting chairman on the 18th.

The Air Railroad Accident Investigation Committee is expected to begin the process of appointing a successor soon, and the process is expected to take about several months.

Earlier, Jang Man-hee, a former chairman of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, expressed his resignation on the 7th after it was pointed out that it was inappropriate for a former Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport to lead an accident investigation committee that should also investigate whether the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport was negligent.
