Investigators search for remains near the 2024 Jeju Air plane crash site in Muan International Airport, South Jeolla Province, June 15. Yonhap
The government will conclude the ongoing search and recovery of the remains of victims in the 2024 Jeju Air plane crash in a precise, transparent and swift manner, it said Wednesday.
The government began combing the crash site again in April, more than a year after the crash, following complaints that many pieces of remains and items belonging to the victims remained unattended at the site, some even in ton bags or gunny sacks as if they were garbage.
"While communicating closely with the bereaved families, the government will mobilize all available resources and personnel under the interagency cooperation system to conclude the search in a precise, transparent and swift manner," the Office for Government Policy Coordination said in a release.
The office added, however, that the search could inevitably be delayed due to weather conditions.
