The commercial plane skidded off the runway, crashed into a wall and burst into flames while landing at Muan International Airport, killing all but two of its passengers.
The pilot alerted the control tower of a 'bird strike', flagged an aborted landing attempt and declared 'Mayday', as the jet crash-landed without the correct landing gear.
Jeju Air deeply bows in apology to all those affected, stating that their first priority is to manage the incident and they sincerely apologize for the concern caused.
The US National Transportation Safety Board is aiding South Korea's aviation investigation team to probe the crash, which has two black boxes being analyzed for further insights.
