- Aircraft: De Havilland DHC-8-400 (Dash-8)
- Location: Busan-Gimhae, Busan, South Korea

Jeju Air Flight 502, a Q400 from Jeju to Gimhae, had rudder warnings in flight, but the crew did not recognise the rudder failure during approach and landing. After touching down the aircraft left the runway and hit a concrete drainage ditch. Four occupants received minor injuries and the aircraft was written off.
