As widely reported in the media today, South Korea-based Asiana Airlines has received a 45-day flight suspension from the South Korean government. Unless successfully appealed, the suspension will halt Asiana flights between Incheon and San Francisco for a 45-day period that will take effect within six months. This action was imposed as a penalty resulting from the U.S. National Transportation Safety Board’s finding this past June that pilot actions were the primary cause of the crash. On a perfectly clear sunny day in July 2013, the aircraft was flown too low on its final approach and struck a sea wall. Three passengers were killed as a result.
