SEOUL (The Korea Herals/Asia News Network): Asiana Airlines’ initial response to a recent mid-air door-opening incident was “inappropriate” and will be fined for it, the South Korean government’s investigation showed, Park Sang-hyuk of the main opposition Korea Democratic Party said on Wednesday (Sept 27).

According to a report Park received from the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, the ministry has imposed a fine on Asiana Airlines and recommended country’s second-largest air carrier take corrective actions to prevent similar incidents in the future.
