Police on Friday raided Gimhae International Airport to secure evidence related to last week's fire in an Air Busan plane.

Authorities will start a joint investigation into the Air Busan A321 that burst into flames at Busan Gimhae International Airport, Yonhap News Agency reports.

The incident comes in the wake of 179 people dying when a plane skidded off a runway at a different airport in the country last month.

Air Busan will begin inspecting carry-on luggage for portable batteries before boarding, after a supplementary battery was suggested as the possible cause of a fire aboard one of its passenger jets at Gimhae International Airport on Jan.

South Korea's Air Busan will not allow passengers to keep power banks in luggage stored in overhead cabin bins, in what on Tuesday it called a preemptive measure after one of its planes was engulfed in flames last week.

A South Korean airline no longer allows portable power banks in baggage stored in overhead bins, citing lithium-battery fire risk.

Hong Kong expert says expansion of measure to other airlines will depend on further risk assessments by trade groups and carriers.
