South Korean authorities are still investigating the cause of the recent air disaster at Muan International Airport. Some are blaming a concrete embankment at the end of the airport runway, which will now be removed.

South Korean authorities said on Wednesday they will change the concrete barriers used for navigation at some airports across the country after the Jeju Air crash that left 179 people dead.

The Jeju Air Flight 2216 crash triggered by a bird strike and dual-engine failure, has raised pressing questions around aviation safety, wildlife management, and airport emergency preparedness. Here’s what we know so far,

The South Korean government have said it will remove the concrete localizer structure that a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 crashed into at Muan International Airport.

The government on Wednesday announced a comprehensive plan to address potential risks associated with emergency landings at airports across the country following last month's deadly Jeju Air accident.

South Korea will extend runway safety areas and redesign infrastructure after the crash of a Jeju Air Co flight last month that killed almost everyone on board, sparking criticism that the design of the airport might have exacerbated the accident.

The nation’s transport ministry reviewed structures near airport runways after the deadly crash of a Jeju Air flight late last month.

The airport is the site of the Dec. 29 crash of the Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 jet that killed 179 passengers on board.

Seven airports will also have their runway safety areas adapted following a review of all South Korea's airports that was carried out after the crash - the deadliest in the country's history. The Jeju Air flight was bringing passengers home from Thailand after Christmas when it made an emergency landing at Muan airport and exploded after slamming into a concrete barrier at the end of the runway.
