The investigation into the deadliest air disaster on the country's soil remains ongoing, focusing on the role of bird strike and involving an analysis of the engines and the "localizer" landing guidance structure.

Authorities have suggested that migratory bird strikes were the cause of last month's deadly plane crash in South Korea, according to multiple reports.

The feathers and blood stains on both engines of the Jeju Air plane were from the Baikal teal, a type of migratory duck that flies in large flocks, according to a preliminary investigation report published on Monday.
