Government officials and Police have already been investigating the Jeju Air crash, which happened on December 29 and killed all but two of the 181 people on board, hence the company is likely a symbolic act for a more through inquiry.

Several bereaved families complain about the lack of meaningful progress in efforts to determine the actual cause of the crash and who should be held responsible for the tragic incident.
