Passengers evacuated
Plane bursts into flames shortly before take-off
Inferno at Gimhae International Airport in South Korea: a fire broke out shortly before a plane was due to take off. Passengers and crew members had to be evacuated from the plane.
The aircraft was an Airbus A321ceo belonging to the low-cost airline Air Busan. The plane was due to take off on Tuesday as flight BX-391 towards Hong Kong - but shortly before the plane took to the skies, a fire broke out in the rear section. The flames eventually spread to the front.
169 passengers, six crew members and one technician had to flee the aircraft. As the Yonhap news agency reported, citing the fire department, four people were injured during the evacuation.
Just a few weeks ago, there was a serious plane crash in South Korea: A passenger plane of the South Korean low-cost airline Jeju Air coming from Thailand landed at Muan International Airport without its landing gear deployed, skidded across the runway and was completely destroyed by the hard impact against a wall. 179 of the 181 passengers lost their lives in the accident.
