Korea's transport ministry is reinforcing safety measures for hazardous materials - notably regarding passenger carriage of batteries - as part of a new air transport policy. While the ministry has not specifically linked the measures to the Air Busan Airbus A321 fire at Gimhae on 28 January,
South Korea on Thursday announced strengthened aviation safety measures following a fire on an Air Busan plane last month, saying the rules would include limiting the number and type of portable batteries allowed on the country's airlines.
The Air Busan plane caught fire at Gimhae International Airport on Jan. 28, with all 176 people on board safely evacuated using an escape slide, though seven suffered minor injuries. Based on results of the initial probe, authorities will announce a preliminary report on the incident by Feb. 28, officials said.
