The fatal plane due to increased traffic of holiday days, had made 13 flights in the last 48 hours, before crashing Sunday morning (29.12. 24) at Muan Airport, in one of the most tragic, as described, air accidents in South Korea’s history, as broadcast by the Yonhap news agency, which invokes sources adjacent to the airline.

Regional airports in South Korea depend on chartered flights operated by low-cost airlines, which tend to have a higher usage rate – a measure showing how often a plane is used. Yonhap’s report, based on Jeju Air’s own data, says the airline had the highest average flight hours per month among the six domestic low-cost airlines in South Korea, from July to September this year.
