Asiana Airlines halts sale of exit row seats following inflight incident.
TL;DR
Asiana Airlines has stopped selling certain exit row seats on its Airbus A321-200 jets after a passenger opened an emergency door during landing. The carrier said the move was out of precaution, and the new policy will apply even if the flights are full. Asiana subsidiary Air Seoul has also implemented the policy, while Air Busan is still considering it. The incident occurred when a man in his 30s opened an Asiana A321 door during landing into Daegu, causing minor injuries to 12 people.
