Transport Ministry officials later said their early assessment of communication records show the airport control tower issued a bird strike warning to the plane shortly before it intended to land and gave its pilot permission to land in a different area. The pilot reportedly sent out a distress signal shortly before the plane went past the runway and skidded across a buffer zone before hitting the wall.

The crash took place in Muan — about 290 kilometres south of Seoul — at 9:03 am while the 15-year-old Boeing 737-800 jet that was returning from Bangkok.

Footage aired by South Korean television channels showed the plane skidding across the airstrip at high speed, apparently with its landing gear still closed, overrunning the runway and colliding head-on with a concrete wall on the outskirts of the facility, triggering an explosion.
