South Korea: Day after Muan disaster, another Jeju Air plane suffers landing gear trouble

Another Jeju Air passenger jet reportedly experienced a landing gear malfunction and had to return to the airport in South Korea on Monday.

According to Reuters, the aircraft departed from Gimpo Airport in Seoul. It experienced a landing-gear issue after takeoff and returned to Gimpo where it landed safely, Reuters quoted unnamed source cited in a South Korean news agency Yonhap report.

The issue wasn't exactly named in the report, but it comes just a day after one of the deadliest aviation disasters in South Korea that took 179 lives on Sunday at the Muan International Airport, also apparently due to a landing gear malfunction. The malfunction was said to have been caused by an apparent bird strike.

It was the first crash in Jeju Air’s history. The low-cost carrier started its operations in 2005 and is known for its safety.
