Asiana Airlines fined for departing without passenger luggage

Asiana Airlines was fined 12 million won for departing with 294 passengers' luggage left behind. The airline failed to load some checked baggage on a flight to New York from Incheon, notifying passengers only after takeoff due to a detour caused by volcanic ash. This action violated aviation laws, and the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport emphasized stricter enforcement of passenger notification duties for all airlines.
