A passenger plane incident occurred at Gimhae International Airport in South Korea when an Air Busan Airbus A321 caught fire before its scheduled departure to Hong Kong. Although the fire ignited at the rear of the aircraft, all 176 passengers onboard were evacuated safely using escape slides, resulting in only three minor injuries. The fire was extinguished after about an hour, but the cause remains undetermined. This incident is particularly concerning in light of a recent catastrophic crash at Muan International Airport that resulted in 179 fatalities, raising safety alarms in the aviation sector.
