Seven Boeing 737 planes were involved in accidents last year, along with two other incidents involving Boeing 777-300ER and 747-400 models.

The most devastating accident occurred on December 29, 2024, when a Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 crashed during landing at Muan International Airport, South Korea.

The incident, caused by a malfunctioning landing gear, resulted in the loss of 179 lives, with only two cabin crew members surviving. The aircraft was completely destroyed, complicating victim identification.
