At least 62 people have died in a plane crash at an airport in South Korea.

The Jeju Air plane was landing at Muan International Airport when it came off the runway and crashed into a wall, bursting into flames.

The flight from Bangkok in Thailand had 181 people on board - most of whom were South Koreans.

Two survivors have been pulled from the debris so far, and rescue efforts continue.

The cause of the crash is not known, but local media reported it may have been caused by birds getting caught in the plane.
