This was the worst South Korean airline accident since the 1997 crash of Korean Air Flight 801 in Guam, and the deadliest in South Korea since the crash of Air China Flight 129 in 2002.[2] The plane crash was the first deadly accident in Jeju Air's 19-year history[3] and the deadliest plane crash of the 2020s, since Lion Air Flight 610 crashed in 2018.
Another Jeju Airlines flight returned to base after a engine malfunction, a day afterwards.[4]
