Ultimately, the plane crashed, killing 179 people in South Korea’s worst aviation disaster. A standard pre-flight inspection found “no issues” with the Jeju Air passenger plane before it crashed.

South Korea’s leading low-cost carrier, heavy with debt and its stock already near record lows, is now facing intense public and government scrutiny.

The government will provide 3 million won ($2,000) to the bereaved families of the Jeju Air crash to help with living expenses, while also extending loan maturities for business owners who lost their lives in the tragedy.
