The Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs expressed on Sunday the Kingdom’s condolences to the families of the victims, and to the government and people of South Korea, following the crash of a passenger aircraft.

In a statement, the ministry wished the injured speedy recovery.

The crash killed 179 people, when the airliner belly-landed and skidded off the end of the runway, erupting in a fireball as it slammed into a wall at Muan International Airport.

Jeju Air flight 7C2216 was arriving from the Thai capital Bangkok with 175 passengers and six crew on board when it crashed.
