Families of victims from the Jeju Air crash have filed a criminal complaint against officials and safety personnel, calling for further investigation into the causes of South Korea's deadliest aviation incident.
Relatives of victims from the Jeju Air crash that occurred on 29 December have filed a criminal complaint against 15 individuals, including South Korean government officials and airline safety personnel. According to their legal representatives, the complaint includes allegations of negligence and violations of the Aviation Safety Act.
The incident at Muan Airport involved a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 that made an emergency landing following a reported bird strike and subsequently overshot the runway, crashing into a runway embankment containing navigation equipment. The crash resulted in 179 fatalities out of 181 passengers and crew, making it the deadliest air accident on South Korean territory.
The complaint, submitted by the families of 72 victims, names Transport Minister Park Sang-woo among others. It calls for a detailed investigation into the handling of the emergency, the aircraft’s maintenance history, and the design and construction of the runway embankment.
Lawyers representing the families stated that the purpose of the complaint is to support a comprehensive review of the incident and contribute to ongoing discussions about aviation safety standards and procedures.
