Last night (25th), the Jeju Airlines airliner, which departed from Gimhae Airport to Gimpo in Busan, started to sway just after takeoff and finally returned to the boat in 40 minutes. More than 180 passengers on board had to panic during that time, and the government is investigating why.

The crew will announce in an urgent voice in the dark passenger cabin.

[Passenger announcement: There is a possibility of emergency escape. In such a case, you should not throttle and throw away all your luggage. Please follow the crew's instructions and stay calm. .]

A Jeju airliner flying to Gimpo, which left Gimhae Airport last night around 8:50, took over 10 minutes after takeoff.

[Kim Young-soon / Jeju Airline Passenger: The plane shook, and I felt strangely turning around. Then he swayed to the side and suddenly (the room went out) .]

182 passengers were terrified in the turbulent flight.

[Kim Young-soon / Jeju Airline Passenger: You have to say that you have an emergency. I want to pray, pray.]

The passengers returned to peace only after returning to Gimhae Airport within 40 minutes of departure.

Jeju Air said that it was inconvenient for the passengers during the manual operation due to abnormalities in the automatic navigation system. According to the regulations, Jeju Airlines rewarded 50,000 won per person.

The airliner that caused the problem is a Boeing 737 NG family that has recently passed the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport safety inspection.
