The government unexpectedly conducts an emergency safety check on all 400 national airline planes.

The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs said it will implement emergency safety measures for airline companies in April and May to prevent accidents such as delays,

It is a task to check the weak points for each aircraft by analyzing the defect history for the past one year.

We have decided to manage and supervise aircrafts that are over 20 years old or have frequent breakdowns so that they will not be operated at long and midnight hours,

This inspection is intended to prevent the industry atmosphere, which has been amid the recent restructuring process of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines, from leading to accidents.
