After a Jeju Air plane crash-landed in southwestern South Korea in December 2024, killing all but two of the 181 people on board, a clip was shared in social media posts that falsely claimed it showed footage from inside the passenger cabin before the crash.

After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

Jeju Air Co., South Korea's largest budget carrier, will initially cut nearly 1,880 flights in the first quarter, it said Wednesday, a move aimed at enhancing its operational safety following the recent crash of its Boeing 737-800 flight that left 179 people dead.
