As part of its new air transport policy, South Korea's Ministry of Transport is strengthening safety measures for dangerous goods, particularly for passenger transport of batteries.
The ministry does not specifically link the measure to the Air Busan Airbus A321 Fire held in Gimhae on January 28th, but the policy notifies passengers of the “quantity and storage method” of the supplemental battery. It says it involves doing so.
The A321 was destroyed after flames broke out in the rear fuselage as the jet prepared to depart for Hong Kong. All 176 residents were evacuated safely.
Investigators have not reached a conclusion regarding the cause of the fire.
However, Air Busan issued a notice on February 5th banning the storage of spare and auxiliary lithium-ion batteries, as well as lighters and matches in overhead cabin luggage bins.
“We ask passengers to be aware of these guidelines and cooperate in order to prevent fires during flight and ensure safe travel,” Carrier added.
The accident just photographed the post two weeks ago and said the carrier enjoyed “customer trust and quality service based on thorough safety.” It was a tough introduction to Byeong-Seop.
Presenting the new policy at the February 11 meeting, the South Korean ministry said it would tighten regulations for carrying spare batteries on board, and the batteries would be packed safely and the terminal would be concluded.
Safety policy and “high strength” strengthening plans will follow a comprehensive air transport inspection conducted in late January, spurred by the fatal jeju air boeing 737-800 crash in Muang on December 29th It's there.
The conference said it was convened at a time when many famous aviation accidents occurred both domestically and internationally to “promote safety as a top priority.”
According to the ministry, the resolution signed by representatives of airlines, airport operators and other participants focus on five specific points, and the public uses air transport “in peace of mind.” I'll make it possible.
These include mobilizing resources, speeding up the recruitment of pilots and maintenance personnel, ensuring adequate maintenance time on the ground, strengthening training for unusual circumstances, and establishing a culture that selects the safest course of action. Includes:
