Korean Air temporarily grounds 24 A330s following two mishaps

Korean Air is planning a special safety audit of its entire fleet following two mishaps in two weeks involving the same A330 model. The airline will temporarily take the 24 A330s out of service in phases for an intensive inspection, the airline said. The airline also plans to retire its six old Airbus A330s from its fleet. In the first incidence, an A330 overran the runway at Mactan-Cebu International Airport in the Philippines on October 23, 2022. The aircraft was carrying 162 passengers and 11 crew members. Although there were no reported casualties, the plane’s belly suffered significant damage. In
