The South Korean government has formed an aviation safety committee that should present its findings in March.

South Korean authorities said Thursday that all airports in the country would be required to deploy thermal imaging cameras and bird detection radar systems in the wake of the Jeju Air crash that left 179 dead.

An Airbus plane belonging to South Korean carrier Air Busan caught fire on Tuesday at Gimhae International Airport in the country's south while preparing for departure to Hong Kong, fire authorities said.

The fire broke out in the back of the cabin, officials said. All 176 people on board, including passengers and crew members, were evacuated, some with minor injuries.
