The crash, which took place near Jeju International Airport, resulted in the loss of all 170 passengers and crew aboard the flight.
The report, released by the aviation authority, points to the pilot’s failure to adhere to standard operating procedures, ultimately leading to the fatal crash.

They maintain that the report’s conclusions are based on the facts and data gathered during the investigation process.
