Any news on these two incidents, as well as the other B744 incident. As posted on Flight International?! I'm not spreading malicious rumours, just curious.
An MD-82 overrun at Ulsan adds to Korean Air's catalogue of woe
Korean Air's (KAL) battered safety record suffered another blow on 30 September when a Boeing MD-82 landing in wet weather at Ulsan Airport overran the runway by 150m (470ft), less than two months after another major incident at Seoul involving a KAL Boeing 747-400.
According to the airline, three of the 142 passengers aboard the domestic flight from Seoul were injured during evacuation, while the aircraft suffered minor damage. Independent sources say the KAL aircraft suffered a collapsed main gear, suspected wing damage and engine ingestion.
KAL, in the meantime, is trying to secure a full $155 million insurance payout on the 747-400, which was heavily damaged after veering off the runway at Seoul. The airline contends the aircraft is a write off, while Boeing has assessed the cost of repair at just under $100 million.
