Jeju Air flight veers off course in Vietnam months after deadly crash, no injuries reported
Representative image Jeju Air, South Korea's top low-cost airline, faced another safety scare when one of its planes ran into minor trouble while landing at Da Nang International Airport in Vietnam, local news reported on Wednesday. Jeju Air Flight 2217 from Incheonbriefly went off course while landing at the airport at around 12.50 AM (1.50 AM Singapore time) on Tuesday. The plane, which had 183 passengers on board, quickly got back on track and landed safely. No one was hurt, but the landing gear tyres were damaged. The airline replaced the tires in Da Nang and deployed a replacement plane of the same type, Boeing 737-800, for the return flight. The return flight took off at 4.08 PM on the same day from Da Nang International Airport, 14 hours and 38 minutes later than the initially scheduled time. Jeju Air's fleet comprises mostly Boeing 737-800 planes, which was also the model of the ill-fated Flight 2216. Officials from South Korea's ministry of land, infrastructure and transport are conducting an investigation to determine the exact cause of the incident. This comes months after Jeju Air faced a serious accident on December 29, 2024, when Flight 2216 crash-landed at Muan International Airport in South Jeolla province. The plane slid off the runway and hit a berm that surrounded a concrete structure. It exploded on impact, killing almost everyone on board. Only two crew members sitting at the back of the plane survived.
