Asiana gets 45-day ban on SF flights over crash Three passengers were killed and 200 injured in the San Francisco crash The ban was determined by the number of deaths and property damage Airline is planning to appeal decision by the South Korean government They sell 170,000 tickets on the route from Incheon every year By Wills Robinson for MailOnline and Associated Press South Korean officials have banned Asiana Airlines from flying to San Francisco for 45 days as punishment for a deadly crash last year. Three people were killed and 200 were injured when the plane carrying 307 people crashed as it was landing at the California airport in July. The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board concluded in June that the pilots were at fault and made errors as they touched down. Reaction: South Korean officials said Friday they will ban Asiana Airlines from flying to San Francisco for 45 days as punishment for a deadly crash in July last year. Three people were killed and 200 were injured An official from Asiana Airlines said the company will appeal the decision by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport's disciplinary committee, and will consider legal measures if the committee rejects the appeal. She did not want to be named, citing company rules. A ministry official, who spoke on condition of anonymity citing office rules, said if the company does appeal, the ministry will make a final decision within one month. The official said the committee considered the number of deaths and injuries and the amount of property damage in deciding on the length of the flight ban. Probe: The U.S. National Transportation Safety Board concluded in June that the pilots were at fault and made errors as they touched down If the appeal is rejected, the ministry will ask the company to choose a period in the next six months to serve the suspension, he said. Asiana said it sells about 170,000 tickets a year for its flights between Incheon and San Francisco, with 70 percent of the customers being non-South Koreans. San Francisco International Airport spokesman Doug Yakel said he could not comment on the suspension's effect because key details, such as the suspension start date, appeal process outcome, and whether other airlines would be increasing service, were not yet known.
