JAKARTA - The South Korean authorities plan to repair the structure of the transmitter building that guides the plane landing at the airport.
This decision was taken after the evaluation of the fatal crash of the Jeju Air plane that slipped from the runway and caught fire after hitting the concrete barrier in the runway area.
The South Korean transport ministry, which has been checking safety conditions at airlines and airports since Boeing 737-800 crashed at the southwestern airport of Muan, announced steps to change the structure of the emitter that guides the aircraft aka localizer on Monday, January 13.
Reported by Reuters on Monday, January 13, seven domestic airports, including Muan, were found to have a foundation made of concrete or steel that needed to be changed.
South Korea will prepare steps to improve structure this month and aim to complete repairs by the end of 2025. However, it does not provide details regarding the planned fix.
