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.

After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

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.

Ultimately, the plane crashed, killing 179 people in South Korea’s worst aviation disaster. A standard pre-flight inspection found “no issues” with the Jeju Air passenger plane before it crashed.

South Korean investigators said Friday they expected to find more human remains as they began lifting the wreckage of the Jeju Air jet that crashed on landing last weekend killing all but two of the 181 passengers and crew aboard.

South Korea plans to review the concrete walls positioned just beyond the end of some airport runways after an aircraft attempting an emergency landing smashed into one just over a week ago, killing almost everyone on board.
