After a Jeju Air plane crash-landed in southwestern South Korea in December 2024, killing all but two of the 181 people on board, a clip was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed footage from inside the passenger cabin before the crash.

South Korea’s leading low-cost carrier, heavy with debt and its stock already near record lows, is now facing intense public and government scrutiny.

All 179 victims of the fatal Jeju Air crash have been laid to rest as of Wednesday, 10 days after the worst aviation disaster on Korean soil.

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

Search operations at the site of the Jeju Air plane crash concluded on Saturday, one week after the devastating accident claimed 179 lives. Officials announced that all 179 bodies have been recovered, with 151 already returned to their families along with identified personal belongings.

The time between when the pilot reported a bird strike and when it crashed could be crucial to unraveling one of the worst aviation disasters in years.

The government will provide 3 million won ($2,000) to the bereaved families of the Jeju Air crash to help with living expenses, while also extending loan maturities for business owners who lost their lives in the tragedy.

The government has excluded former and current senior officials from participating in an investigation into the recent Jeju Air plane crash to avoid conflicts of interest and ensure a fair and objective probe,
