After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

Before it suffered the deadliest crash in South Korea's history, budget airline Jeju Air was moving fast: racking up record passenger numbers and flying its aircraft more than domestic rivals and many of its global peers,

Two people, both flight attendants, are the only survivors of the crash and are being treated at South Korean hospitals.

Ultimately, the plane crashed, killing 179 people in South Korea’s worst aviation disaster. A standard pre-flight inspection found “no issues” with the Jeju Air passenger plane before it crashed.

The Jeju Air crash in South Korea is an outlier in a country considered to be a gold standard for airline safety.

South Korean investigators said Friday they expected to find more human remains as they began lifting the wreckage of the Jeju Air jet that crashed on landing last weekend killing all but two of the 181 passengers and crew aboard.

South Korea was set Friday to move the tail section of the Jeju Air plane that crashed last week, killing 179 people in the worst aviation disaster on its soil, officials said.The investigation is headed by South Korean air safety officials,

The two flight recorders on board a South Korean airliner stopped working before the jet crashed during an emergency landing and subsequent crash that killed 179 of the 181 people on board, officials said Saturday.
