SEOUL, South Korea — A plane with malfunctioning landing gear veered off the runway, hit a fence and caught fire Sunday at an airport in southern South Korea, killing at least 28 people, according to the emergency office and local media.

South Korean authorities have extended the closure of a southwestern airport where a Jeju Air plane crashed and killed 179 people onboard, the land ministry said Monday.

The flight, operated by Jeju Air, was landing when it went off the runway in Muan, in the country’s southwest. Only two people survived the crash.

Officials are investigating the cause of the deadliest aircraft crash in South Korean history, which killed 179 people.

Just two survivors were rescued from the wreckage of the passenger plane, which had been returning from Thailand.

Acting South Korean President Choi Sang-mok has told emergency responders to use "all available" resources to respond to the crash.

Investigators from the NTSB and Boeing were expected to join the investigation into South Korea's deadliest air crash.

After overcoming pariah status at the end of the last century, South Korea must learn what caused the catastrophe on Dec. 29 and what lessons to draw from it.

South Korea's government said on Monday it will extend the shutdown of Muan International Airport by a week to Jan. 14, citing the ongoing investigation into the crash of a Jeju Air jet that killed 179 passengers on board.
