The Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board (ARAIB), a division of South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport, had initially planned to release an interim report on the Asan air crash involving Jeju Air Flight 7C2216 at 3 pm last Saturday. The incident occurred on December 29 of last year. Nevertheless, the press conference was abruptly canceled amidst opposition and criticism from the victims' families, who deemed the report inadequate. The report suggests that the air crash might have been triggered by the pilot inadvertently turning off the engine, leading to a dual engine power loss and the landing gear failing to deploy correctly. This finding has provoked significant reactions from the families of the victims.
