South Korea extends Boeing 737-800 inspections as Jeju Air wreckage lifted

Al Jazeera  

Inspections on 101 Boeing jets operated by country’s airlines extended to January 10 following the deadly plane crash. Inspections of all 101 Boeing 737-800 jets operated by South Korea’s airlines have been extended for another week, the transport ministry said, as authorities began lifting the wreckage of the Jeju Air plane following the country’s worst aviation disaster. A total of 179 people were killed on Sunday after Jeju Air Flight 2216 from Thailand to South Korea skidded and crashed while trying to land at Muan International Airport southwest of the capital, Seoul. The Jeju Air crash adds to headaches faced by Boeing as the company battles to restore trust with customers following two fatal 737 MAX crashes, a mid-air panel blowout, and a seven-week strike. South Korea’s investigation team said on Friday two of its members would leave for the United States next week to analyse the flight data recorder of the crash in cooperation with the US National Transportation Safety Board.
