Jeju Air, South Korea's largest low-cost carrier, is facing significant challenges following the crash of Flight 7C2216 that resulted in 179 fatalities.
South Korean authorities have raided the airline's offices and imposed a travel ban on CEO Kim E-bae as part of the investigation into the disaster.
In the wake of the crash, passenger cancellations are increasing, exacerbating Jeju Air’s already debt-laden financial situation.
The airline has announced plans to reduce flights by 15% until March to maintain operational stability while cooperating with ongoing investigations.
Criticism has arisen over Jeju Air's operational practices and maintenance outsourcing, as its stock price has dropped significantly since the incident.
