MUAN: As part of their investigation into the Boeing 737-800 tragedy that claimed 179 lives, South Korean police visited the offices of Jeju Air and the operator of Muan International Airport on Thursday.
All passengers were killed, with the exception of two flight attendants who were rescued from the blazing wreckage, when the aircraft, which was transporting 181 passengers from Thailand to South Korea on Sunday, issued a mayday call and belly-landed before colliding with a barrier.
At the airport in Muan, where aircraft 2216 crashed, a regional aviation office in the southwest city, and the Jeju Air office in Seoul, the capital, authorities conducted search and seizure operations.
