A Korean Air flight bound for Taiwan had to return to Incheon airport in South Korea after experiencing a sudden depressurization issue on the Boeing 737 Max 8 aircraft, as reported by the transport ministry on Tuesday. Out of the 133 passengers on board the flight, 19 individuals were taken to hospitals for ear pain and nosebleeds, although no serious injuries were reported.
The exact cause of the problem is currently under investigation, leading to the grounding of the aircraft. Additionally, South Korea's transport ministry has mandated all 11 airlines in the country to inspect the pressurization systems of their 400 aircraft fleet as a precautionary measure.
