Analysis: South Korea airport design was 'unbelievably awful'

 

 

An aviation expert has told Sky News a poorly designed airport was the reason why a passenger jet crashed into a wall, killing 179 people. David Learmount said many passengers would have survived the crash landing if a solid structure had not been built at the end of the runway. The Jeju Air plane, which was carrying 181 people, veered off the runway and into a wall before bursting into flames in the South Korean city of Muan. A bird strike and the landing gear failing to open correctly are possible causes of the crash.
