South Korean authorities will increase their scrutiny of the country's low-cost airline sector, including tightening the criteria for MRO workers and enforcing stricter rules on network expansion.

The two black boxes on the Boeing jet involved in the worst aviation disaster on South Korean soil stopped recording about four minutes before the accident, the transport ministry said on Saturday.

The deadliest plane crash in South Korea's history is triggering a change at the country's airports. The BBC reports the concrete barriers that contain navigation systems at seven airports will be altered in the wake of the crash,
