Narrative:
Jeju Air Flight 7C 2216, a Boeing 737-800 registered HL8088, was involved in an accident at Muan International Airport (MWX/RKJB), South Korea. The aircraft made a gear-up landing on runway 19, slid past the end of the runway and collided with the ILS localizer antenna array and a wall. The aircraft disintegrated and burst into flames, while the tail separated near the beginning of the vertical stabiliser and remained relatively intact. Of the 181 occupants, two flight attendants seated in the tail section survived the accident.
Flight 2216 departed Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) at 19:28 UTC on a flight to MWX. While on approach to MWX, at 23:57 UTC (08:57 LT), the Muan Tower controller issued a bird activity warning. Two minutes later, the flight declared an emergency: Mayday, mayday, mayday ... Bird strike, bird strike, going around.
A situation then developed wherein the flight made a 180 degree turn back for a landing on runway 19, the opposite direction of the initial approach and intended landing direction.
The aircraft then made a gear-up landing about one third down the runway. It then impacted the wall and antenna array. The antenna array was built on a 2 metre high concrete mound, covered with a dirt mound.
MWX runway 19 has a Landing Distance Available (LDA) of 2800 m, albeit reduced to 2500 m since 30 October 2024 due to ongoing construction.
