This is an announcement from the captain of the Jeju Air plane that was heading from Gimhae to Gimpo last year.
The passengers landed safely, but hearing these announcements had to fear that they might die.
The government imposed a fine of 660 million won for this emergency restructuring case.
This is Lee Joon-hee.
◀ Report ▶
On October 25 last year, inside a Jeju Air plane leaving Gimhae airport with 184 passengers.
In less than 10 minutes of take off, there is an announcement telling you to prepare for an emergency escape, saying that you are turning due to a defect in the aircraft.
[당시 기내방송]“There is the possibility of an emergency escape. In that case, you should not swing and throw all your luggage.”
Following the announcement that an emergency landing is imminent,
[당시 기내방송]“Belt, check the child’s condition. I hope you comfort him. Thanks for our emergency landing.”
Immediately before landing, the urgent cry of the crew, called ‘Brace’, to take an anti-shock position, resounds in the cabin.
[제주항공 승무원]“Support (wrap your hand around your head)! Support, support, support!”
Although they returned safely, the passengers had to panic for more than 40 minutes.
[당시 탑승객]“At that time, I don’t want to travel with the idea that if I fall into the water, if I fall I die. I don’t want to travel by plane now.”
The Ministry of Land, Transport and Maritime Affairs ended an investigation into the case in 13 months and imposed a 660 million won penalty on Jeju Air.
At that time, part of the autopilot was broken, but there was no problem with the operation, so although it was not an emergency, there was a problem with the response of the captain who gave the emergency landing announcement.
However, considering the clarification that “in case of a situation, safety was the first priority”, we decided not to ask the captain for personal responsibility separately.
Immediately after the incident, Jeju Air paid 50,000 won for delay compensation per passenger, but the passengers filed a lawsuit demanding compensation for mental injuries.
[김지혜/피해승객 변호사]“Because it was not just an event with a delayed departure for several hours, but an event that left such sequels after experiencing extreme fear and anxiety …”
Jeju Air, Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, etc. All four airlines, including Eastar Jet, were fined 3.66 billion won.
