A Jeju Air flight experienced a landing gear issue shortly after takeoff from Gimpo Airport in Seoul on Monday, prompting the aircraft to safely return to its departure point. The flight, which was bound for Jeju, encountered the issue just moments after taking off. Yonhap News reported that the aircraft landed without incident, and no injuries were reported among the passengers or crew.
This incident follows a weekend crash involving another aircraft, which has raised concerns about flight safety. The recent crash, though unrelated to Jeju Air, has sparked heightened scrutiny on airline operations and maintenance practices. Jeju Air has yet to disclose the specific nature of the landing gear issue but assured the public that safety protocols were followed, and the plane landed as planned.
The airline is expected to investigate the cause of the malfunction, and no additional disruptions to flights were reported following Monday’s incident. Jeju Air has emphasized its commitment to ensuring passenger safety despite the recent challenges faced by the industry.
