The South Korean land ministry has revealed that the investigation into the recent plane crash in South Korea may extend up to three years. This announcement was made during a briefing where it was explained that investigations into commercial flights can typically range from six months to three years.

One of the factors contributing to the potentially lengthy investigation is the fact that the plane involved in the crash was manufactured outside of South Korea. This means that investigators will need to collaborate with the manufacturers of the major parts of the aircraft to gather crucial information.

Consulting with the plane's manufacturers is essential for understanding the technical aspects of the aircraft and determining if any manufacturing defects or issues played a role in the crash. This thorough process of investigation is crucial for ensuring that all possible factors are considered and addressed.
