FLYERS were left panicking in mid-air after another South Korean Boeing suffered a landing gear malfunction hours after the deadly crash that killed 179. The landing gear issue happened on the same model of plane as the Jeju Air flight that smashed into a runway embankment on Sunday and exploded.

Jeju Air Flight 7C101 departed from Gimpo Airport for Jeju at 6.37am but was found to have the defective landing gear an hour later and forced to return. After safely landing, some 21 of the 161 passengers on board the Boeing 737-800 decided not to get back onto the flight saying they were too anxious to fly again.
