The airline said a pre-flight inspection of a Jeju Air passenger plane hours before it crashed in South Korea, killing 179 people, found no issues.
The airline's CEO Kim Yi-bae told a news conference nothing abnormal was noted with the landing gear.
The plane was travelling from Bangkok when it crash-landed at Muan International Airport on Sunday, bursting into flames and killing everyone onboard, save for two crew members, after skidding into a wall.
Investigators are still working to identify victims and establish what caused South Korea's deadliest ever air crash.
