South Korean police have initiated a search at Muan Airport following the Jeju Air plane crash, which resulted in the deaths of 179 people. The airline's offices and the regional aviation authority are currently being searched.

Police investigators carry items from the Muan office of the Busan Regional Office of Aviation into an elevator at Muan International Airport, southwestern South Korea, on Jan. 2, 2025, following a search over the crash four days ago of a Jeju Air passenger plane that killed all but two of 181 people.

Police have conducted raids at Muan International Airport and Jeju Air offices over last week's crash that killed 179 people. Search warrants were executed on charges of "professional negligence resulting in death" as authorities probe the legality of the concrete structure built at the end of the runway.
