The measures are the latest in a raft of pledges out of Beijing since last week aimed at kickstarting the world’s number-two economy.

SEOUL — South Korea has launched a “comprehensive inspection” of all Boeing 737-800 aircraft operated by the country’s carriers, an official said Monday, after a fatal Jeju Air crash killed 179 people.

“Maintenance records of key systems such as engines and landing gear will be thoroughly reviewed for 101 aircraft operated by six airlines using the same model as the accident aircraft,” said deputy minister for civil aviation, Joo Jong-wan, adding it would run to January 3.
