South Korea’s transport ministry ordered all its airlines to step up safety measures and provide additional training for their pilots and crew as it starts a 3-week government investigation on Asiana Airlines, which figured in a crash landing in San Francisco. The probe into Asiana will investigate whether it violated any rules in its operation and training, the ministry said. Four pilots from the Boeing 777 that crashed on July 6 will be questioned from Wednesday, July 17. The pilots returned home on Saturday after being quizzed by US aviation officials.
