The next flight of the Korean plane that crashed was from Jeju to Beijing. Chinese tourists were planning to return home by boat.

This morning, a South Korean Jeju Airlines passenger plane left the runway when landing, hit a wall, exploded and burst into flames. The accident killed 179 people, and two people survived.Muan International Airport in Jeollanam-do, South Korea, issued an official response to the recent passenger plane accident, pointing out that the passenger plane involved encountered an accident while trying to perform a "belly landing" operation. The emergency measure was due to a sudden failure of the landing gear system.

The flight originally planned to land on Runway 1 of Muan Airport found that it could not touch the ground safely during its initial landing attempt, and immediately implemented go-around procedures. Unfortunately, during the subsequent second landing attempt, the aircraft crashed and caught fire.

Preliminary accident investigation pointed to the possible cause: the aircraft was suspected of colliding with a flock of birds during the landing phase. This unexpected situation caused the landing gear to be unable to deploy normally, thus affecting the possibility of a safe landing.The consequences of the accident were extremely serious. The fuselage of the passenger plane broke into two parts after the impact and quickly ignited a fire. Except for the tail wreckage, the rest of the fuselage was almost completely burned.

It has been confirmed that the aircraft model of Jeju Air flight 7C2216 where the accident occurred is a 737-800 of the American Boeing Company. It was manufactured in August 2009 and the aircraft is 15 years old.The aircraft number is HL8088. HL8088 was originally scheduled to fly from Jeju to Beijing today with flight number 7C8135, and then fly back from Beijing to Jeju with flight number 7C8136. At around 9 a.m. on December 29, flights 7C8135 and 7C8136 were canceled successively.

According to reports, Ms. Shen, who was waiting at Jeju Airport, said, "It's really unbelievable and my heart is heavy." Ms. Shen revealed that Jeju Air has not given any more responses to the cancellation of their flights."Currently, there is only one Chinese airline left that can return to China, but the tickets have been sold out, and we are considering taking a boat back to China."
