Air Busan plane catches fire at South Korea’s airport

An Air Busan plane caught fire at Gimhae International Airport in Busan in South Korea on Tuesday and all 169 passengers and seven crew members evacuated without casualties, Yonhap news agency reported.

The fire began in the plane's tail, Yonhap said.

It is a month since the deadliest air disaster on South Korean soil when a Jeju Air plane coming from Bangkok crashed on Muan Airport's runway as it made an emergency belly landing, killing all but two of the 181 people and crew members on board.

Budget airline Air Busan is part of Asiana Airlines, which in December was acquired by Korean Air, Reuters reported.
