Following the deadly Jeju Air accident, the government ordered low cost carriers to reduce flight times, boost pilot training and expand maintenance crews.

The South Korean government will review safety systems associated with emergency landings at airports across the country following the fatal Jeju Air crash, which killed 179 people. The plan includes removing the concrete embankment at Muan International Airport.

Korea plans to strengthen its oversight of low-cost carriers (LCCs) and impose strict penalties on airlines failing to meet enhanced operational safety standards, the government said Thursday, following last month's Jeju Air crash.
