South Korean aviation investigators have begun an on-site inspection of the fire-damaged Air Busan Airbus A321 at Gimhae Airport. The incident, which occurred while the aircraft was on the ground, prompted authorities to launch an immediate safety assessment.
Despite initial concerns, investigators decided to proceed with the inspection without removing the remaining fuel from the aircraft. This approach suggests that the risk of further hazards has been evaluated and deemed manageable during the investigation process.
The focus of the inspection is to determine the cause of the fire and assess potential damage to the aircraft’s structure and systems. Officials will also examine maintenance records and operational procedures to identify any contributing factors.
As the investigation continues, aviation authorities are expected to provide updates on findings and any necessary safety recommendations. The incident underscores the importance of rigorous safety protocols in aircraft maintenance and ground operations.
