South Korean authorities said Thursday that all airports in the country would be required to deploy thermal imaging cameras and bird detection radar systems in the wake of the Jeju Air crash that left 179 dead.

The government said Thursday it will deploy thermal imaging cameras and bird detection radar systems at all domestic airports to prevent airplane bird strikes following last month's deadly Jeju Air Co.

Korean authorities are planning a broad deployment of bird-detection radar, as well as imaging and deterrent technology, in the aftermath of the fatal Jeju Air Boeing 737-800 accident. The aircraft suffered a bird-strike to both engines during approach to Muan airport on 29 December,

The ill-fated Jeju Airplane in last month's deadly crash received a warning from air traffic control about bird activity just one minute before its black box recording stopped, the transport ministry said Saturday.
