SEOUL, Jan. 4 (UPI) -- A passenger plane operated by a Korean Air subsidiary with 163 on board was forced to turn back 40 minutes after take-off when it was revealed one of the plane's doors was not completely shut.
A noise alerted staff of the Jin Air flight to find the gap in the door while flying at 10,000 feet, prompting the pilot to return to the Philippine city of Cebu on Sunday, CNN reports. An in-flight announcement was made to inform the passengers of the 16-year-old Boeing 737-800 that they would not be arriving at the destination of Busan, South Korea.
