SEOUL: Both engines of the Jeju Air plane that crashed last month contained duck remains, according to a preliminary report on Monday (Jan 27), with authorities still trying to determine what caused the deadliest air disaster on South Korean soil.

South Korea will release by Monday a preliminary report on last month's Jeju Air plane crash that killed 179 people, the deadliest air disaster on the nation's soil, the transport ministry said on Saturday.

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.

South Korean authorities have submitted a preliminary report on last month's fatal Jeju Air crash to the International Civil Aviation Organization. The ongoing investigation focuses on a 'bird impact' as well as examining the aircraft's engines and landing systems.

On January 23, 2025, Park Sang-woo, the Minister of South Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT), met with the CEOs of nine domestic low-cost carriers, including Jeju Air, T’way Air, Eastar Jet and Jin Air. During the meeting, the minister presented plans for stricter safety standards.

Duck remains were found in both engines of the Jeju passenger jet that crashed last month, killing 179 people in the worst air disaster in South Korea’s history.

The investigation into the deadliest air disaster on the country's soil remains ongoing, focusing on the role of bird strike and involving an analysis of the engines and the "localizer" landing guidance structure.

Pilots’ actions after the bird strike are an early focus of the investigation, according to people familiar with the probe.

Traces of bird strikes were found in the engines of the Jeju Air flight that crashed at Muan International Airport, killing all but two of the 181 passengers. The preliminary report identified remains of migratory ducks.
