The preliminary report was released by the Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board on Monday in South Korea.
An investigation into a fire that engulfed an Air Busan plane at a South Korean airport this week is being slowed by a large amount of fuel and oxygen still on board, an air crash investigation official told Reuters.
South Korean officials are launching an investigation into the cause of the fire that engulfed an Air Busan passenger plane, with eyewitness accounts suggesting a power bank may have sparked the blaze.
South Korean authorities will increase their scrutiny of the country's low-cost airline sector, including tightening the criteria for MRO workers and enforcing stricter rules on network expansion.
South Korean authorities have concluded the search and recovery operations, as well as the investigation, into the crash of a Jeju Air plane on Decem
The first report on last month's Jeju Air crash in South Korea confirmed traces of bird strikes in the plane's engines, though officials haven't determined the cause of the accident that killed all but two of the 181 people on board.
The fire broke out in the back of the cabin, officials said. All 176 people on board, including passengers and crew members, were evacuated, some with minor injuries.
The ill-fated Jeju Airplane in last month's deadly crash received a warning from air traffic control about bird activity just one minute before its black box recording stopped, the transport ministry said Saturday.
