Asiana Airlines has announced it will no longer sell tickets for certain emergency exit seats of its Airbus A321-200 aircraft, the airline said Sunday, following a recent incident where a passenger opened the emergency door just before it was about to land at Daegu airport in the southern part of South Korea.

The airline said in a statement that seats number 26A on 174-seat A321s and number 31A on 195-seat
models will not be sold, the seats are near the center of the plane, closest to the doors on the left-hand side of the single-aisle aircraft. This measure is a safety precaution and applies even if the flight is full," the statement said. The corresponding seat on the right-hand side is where flight attendants sit for takeoff
and landing.

A very strange action every taken by an airline to solve an odd, strange incident.
