Jeju Air CEO Kim Yi Bae held a press conference in Seoul, South Korea, to announce safety measures to restore customer confidence after the tragic plane crash on December 29 at Muan International Airport that killed 179 people.
Speaking at the second press conference held since the Muan tragedy, CEO Kim Yi Bae said Jeju Air will cut 10-15% of air traffic this winter to focus on aircraft maintenance.
The increased safety measures, he said, are aimed at restoring customer confidence.
However, Mr. Kim also made it clear that the decision did not mean that the airline was operating too many planes. He affirmed that the airline's pilots were always trained according to the prescribed standards and that Jeju Air currently owns two complete flight simulators.
In addition, he also said that since 2019, the average number of maintenance people per aircraft of the airline has increased from 12 to 12.9 people.
Another criterion that Jeju Air's CEO mentioned is that over the past five years, the airline has continuously improved its safety record. He said: "We have a strict checklist and maintenance."
Regarding the tragic accident that occurred on December 29, Mr. Kim said that the airline's top priority now is to focus on supporting and compensating the families of the victims. He affirmed that Jeju Air will take full responsibility for handling the situation.
He also clarified that during the inspection of the plane before takeoff, the technicians did not detect any abnormalities. According to him, it is necessary to wait for the conclusion of the investigation agency based on the results of the inspection of the two black boxes recording data and the cockpit to have accurate information about the plane's landing gear.
Earlier, it was reported that one of the plane's landing gears was not working properly.
Regarding the second Jeju Air plane that had a landing gear problem and was forced to return to Seoul airport, which happened not long after the tragedy on December 29, Mr. Kim said that thanks to the timely detection of the error, the plane was safe.
