The crash at Muan International Airport is the latest in a series of airline tragedies in recent years, and it has raised questions about the safety of low-cost carriers, which typically operate with fewer resources than major international airlines.

Investigators will likely look into the maintenance and operational history of the aircraft, as well as whether any mechanical issues or human errors contributed to the fatal crash.
