The Embassy of Azerbaijan in Seoul has expressed condolences to South Korea following the plane crash at Muan International Airport.

“We are deeply shocked and saddened to hear about the tragic airplane crash at the Muan International Airport this morning. We express heartfelt condolences to the families and friends of the victims. Our thoughts and prayers are with all those affected by this tragic incident,” Caliber.Az reports, citing the embassy’s message on X.

A tragic plane crash in South Korea’s Muan city has claimed the lives of at least 122 people after a passenger jet caught fire upon skidding off the runway at Muan International Airport. 

The crash occurred on December 29 at 9:03 AM local time (00:03 GMT), as a Jeju Air flight from Bangkok attempted to land. The ill-fated Boeing 737-800, a 15-year-old aircraft, was carrying 175 passengers and six crew members when it encountered what authorities believe to be a catastrophic landing gear malfunction. The National Fire Agency confirmed that the dead include 46 women and 39 men, while two crew members have been rescued.
