South Korea's F-15K Slam Eagle fighter jets are operating normally and the country's plan to introduce more aircraft from Boeing Co. remains on track despite the U.S. grounding of its F-15 planes, Air Force and company officials said Thursday.

The U.S. Air Force has grounded all of its F-15 fighter jets because of worries over a possible structural failure of the model after a plane crash in Missouri early this month.

"The F-15Ks here are in normal service," South Korean Air Force spokesman Lt. Col. Moon Chae-wook said.

He said the U.S. Air Force confirmed there are no mechanical hitches in the F-15K, an upgrade of the U.S. F-15 jets.
