Narrative:
Jeju Air Flight 7C 2216, a Boeing 737-800 registered HL8088, was involved in an accident at Muan International Airport (MWX/RKJB), South Korea. The aircraft made a gear-up landing on runway 19, slid past the end of the runway and collided with the ILS localizer antenna array that was installed in a concrete platform. The aircraft disintegrated and burst into flames, while the tail separated near the beginning of the vertical stabiliser and remained relatively intact.
Of the 181 occupants, two flight attendants seated in the tail section survived the accident.

Flight 2216 departed Bangkok-Suvarnabhumi International Airport (BKK) at 19:28 UTC on a flight to MWX.

At 23:54 UTC (08:54:43 local time), flight 2216 first communicated for landing with the controller Muan Tower. They were cleared to land on runway 01. While flight 2216 was approaching the runway, the tower advised the airplane at 08:57:50 to be cautious of bird activity. Both the CVR and FDR recordings stopped at 08:58:50.

After a few seconds, at 08:58:56 the flight crew declared an emergency (Mayday x 3) for a bird strike during a go-around. As the aircraft was flying over the left side of the runway 01, it turned right and approached runway 19 to land on it after aligning with the runway centerline.
The aircraft then made a gear-up landing about two third down the runway. It then impacted the wall and antenna array.
The antenna array was built on a 2 metre high concrete mound, covered with a dirt mound.

MWX runway 19 has a Landing Distance Available (LDA) of 2800 m, albeit reduced to 2500 m since 30 October 2024 due to ongoing construction.

According to a preliminary report, released by ARAIB on January 27, the pilots identified a group of birds while approaching runway 01, and a security camera filmed HL8088 coming close to a group of birds during a go-around. Both engines were examined, and feathers and bird blood stains were found on each. They were identified as belonging to Baikal Teals (ducks).
