Korea's Korean Air said on December 15 that incidents of passengers “tampering” with aircraft cabin safety gates have increased in recent years, threatening aviation safety. The company will adopt a “zero tolerance” policy for such acts, including filing criminal charges against the passenger responsible. According to Yonhap News Agency, Korean Air has experienced 14 incidents of passengers “messing around” or “trying to tamper” the cabin safety doors in the past two years, so the company decided to adopt a “zero tolerance” policy for such acts in the future to better maintain aviation safety. Korean Air said that in the future, it will file criminal lawsuits against the passenger responsible for the accident, seek civil compensation, and add the passenger responsible for the accident to the “no-fly” blacklist. According to the Korea Aviation Safety Law, unauthorized opening of an aircraft hatch or emergency exit may face up to 10 years in prison.
