Boeing 737s To Be Inspected After Crash

After a horrific crash involving a JejuAir Boeing 737, emergency safety inspections will be taken out within South Korea, including comprehensive inspections.

As the acting president announced, and the Transport Ministry was informed, the country is not taking this decision lightly as it seeks to investigate the major incident.

179 of the 181 people aboard the JejuAir Boeing 737 passed away aboard a plane that could not perform a safe landing and didn’t have its gear down. Ultimately, this is now an incident that has made headlines worldwide.

Since this, it was mentioned that the control tower issued a bird activity warning a few minutes before impact. The pilot then noted the air traffic control of a go-around, according to the director of the aviation safety policy.

Now, South Korea’s fleet of Boeing 737s is set to be inspected as part of the country’s effort to ensure the safety of all aircraft.

Ultimately, the 737 is a massive part of South Korea’s aviation industry, with many carriers operating aircraft, from JejuAir to Korean Air and Jin Air, among others, such as T’way Air, Easter Jet and Air Incheon. Therefore, the inspections will take time and will not be taken lightly.

A thorough examination of the compliance with various regulations, including operational records, inspections and maintenance conducted before and after flights, will be performed. These endeavours have been confirmed again by an Aviation Policy Officer in South Korea.

The aircraft involved while part of the 737 family is not that of the latest generation 737 MAX, but rather a 737-800 part of the previous 737NG series. South Korea has clarified that this is a typically reliable aircraft type, seen in over 100 countries worldwide with hundreds of airlines.

Footage of the JejuAir 737 moments before impact showed a landing gear that was not down. Analysts argue that understanding the reasoning behind this will be necessary, and investigations are ongoing.

JejuAir, however, has denied that mechanical faults or inadequate safety preparations caused this crash; these comments from the Head of the Management Support Office at the South Korean carrier. It was said that no compromise can ever be made regarding maintaining aircraft.
