Regarding the Jeju Air accident, it has been confirmed that the plane operated 13 times in the 48 hours immediately before the disaster.

This is the flight schedule of the Jeju Air flight that had an accident.On the 27th, two days before the

accident, I went from Muan to Jeju, Incheon, Beijing, China, and Jeju again, and then operated the Muan-Malaysia Kota Kinabalu route.

Then, the next day, he returned to Muan from Kota Kinabalu and was deployed on the Muan-Thailand route via Japan and Taiwan.

is a repeat of a flight of as short as 40 minutes or as long as 6 hours in less than 48 hours.

Jeju Air operates 418 hours per flight, the longest among the six domestic airlines,
It was longer than Korean Air and Asiana, as well as T'way Air and Jin Air Busan, similar domestic low-cost airlines.

There are also revelations that the flight time is long, but the maintenance environment is less than that.Shortly after the

accident, Jeju Air said flight maintenance was underway properly, but

[Kim Yi-bae/CEO of Jeju Air] (last 29th): We are continuously maintaining it according to the maintenance program. There was no sign of anything wrong with this aircraft.

When the plane was damaged by an accident with its tail touching the runway three years ago, it was fined for flying without checking it properly.
Controversy is growing on an anonymous site for office workers, with Jeju Air employees already posting messages months ago that there are serious problems with plane safety and maintenance.
