Jeju Air Temporary Flights to Clark, Cebu, Guam... Regular Manila Flights Next Week
"Will Continue to Expand Southeast Asia Network"
[Asia Economy Reporter Yoo Je-hoon] Jeju Air announced on the 28th that starting from the 30th, it will operate charter flights to transport overseas Koreans to destinations such as Clark and Cebu (Philippines), and Guam (USA), actively expanding its Southeast Asian network, which had been contracted due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19).
According to Jeju Air, the temporary Clark~Incheon flight will depart Clark Airport at 1 PM (local time) on the 30th, carrying a total of 177 passengers. The Cebu~Incheon route will depart Cebu International Airport at 1 PM on the 2nd of next month, with a total of 185 passengers returning home. Additionally, Jeju Air is planning a temporary flight departing from Guam on the 5th of next month.
These temporary flights were arranged in consultation with the respective countries' consulates general and local Korean associations. All flights to these cities will operate as ferry flights (a term referring to flights operated without passengers) and will transport local overseas Koreans back to Incheon International Airport.
Passengers are only allowed to board if their body temperature is below 37.5 degrees Celsius during the pre-departure fever screening, and masks must be worn on board. Jeju Air plans to provide hand sanitizers and masks to all passengers on these flights. Upon arrival at Incheon International Airport, passengers will undergo COVID-19 testing, and if no abnormalities are found, they will return home and self-quarantine for 14 days.
