Air Busan Flight Erupts in Flames Before Takeoff at Gimhae International Airport

Passengers evacuated safely after a fire erupts on an Air Busan plane bound for Hong Kong.


All 176 individuals onboard were successfully evacuated, with only minor injuries reported, following a fire incident involving an Air Busan aircraft at Gimhae International Airport.



On Tuesday evening, an Air Busan aircraft caught fire at Gimhae International Airport, located in Busan, South Korea, shortly before its scheduled flight to Hong Kong. The incident occurred around 10:30 p.m. when flames erupted near the tail of the plane, prompting an emergency evacuation of all those onboard, which included 169 passengers and seven crew members.

Firefighters responded promptly to the emergency, and local media captured dramatic footage showing smoke rising from the aircraft's tail as evacuation slides were deployed. The Busan fire department reported that a handful of individuals sustained minor injuries during the evacuation process, but no serious injuries were noted.

The cause of the fire remains under investigation as officials work to determine what led to the outbreak. Meanwhile, Air Busan has assured that appropriate safety measures will be taken to ensure such incidents are thoroughly examined and addressed.

As this story develops, further updates will be provided regarding the circumstances of the fire and the response by airport and airline authorities.
