Boeing shares fell following a fatal plane crash in South Korea involving a Boeing aircraft. South Korea launched an investigation into the incident, which left only two survivors out of 181 onboard. The US is also sending investigators to assist in determining the cause of the crash.
Boeing shares fell Monday morning after South Korea announced it is launching an investigation into the nation's airline operations following the deadliest plane crash in the country's history, which involved a Boeing aircraft.
Acting South Korean President Choi Sang-mok announced the probe Monday, and the country's transport ministry said a special inspection of all 101 Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by South Korean airliners would begin that day, focusing on the maintenance record of key components. Boeing shares fell more than 4% in early trading following the announcement Monday morning before recovering some to remain down 2.3% to around $176.52 per share as of 11:30 am ET. Boeing declined to comment on the investigation, referring FOX Business to the Republic of Korea’s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport (MOLIT) instead. The U.S. also said Monday it is sending investigators to help determine what caused the accident at Muan International Airport in Muan, South Korea, the day before, leaving only two survivors out of 181 onboard when a Jeju Air flight skidded off the runway and crashed into a concrete fence.
