Jeju Air Resumes Incheon-Tokyo Route After 3 Months

Agreement on Special Entry Procedures Between Korea and Japan... "Will Enhance Convenience for Business Travelers"

[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Jeju Air announced on the 6th that it will resume flights on the Incheon?Tokyo (Narita) route starting from the 21st. This comes three months after suspending operations due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Japanese government, together with the Korean government, exceptionally allowed entry from the counterpart country through the 'Business Track' for short-term business travelers such as business trips, and the 'Residence Track' for long-term residents such as expatriates, earlier last month. Additionally, it lowered the infectious disease risk alert level to level 2 for nine countries including Korea.

Accordingly, Jeju Air plans to operate the Incheon?Narita route once a week (Saturdays) starting from the 21st. The Incheon?Osaka (Kansai) route, which previously operated twice a week, will change its operating days to Fridays and Sundays.

Along with resuming the Tokyo route, Jeju Air will also run a discount promotion. Passengers who purchase tickets departing from Incheon to Tokyo or Osaka between the 21st and March 27 of next year by December 31 will receive an additional 10 kg of free checked baggage on top of the standard 15 kg allowance. Jeju Air Refresh Points will also be credited with an additional 5%.

Furthermore, during the event period, passengers purchasing New Class (equivalent to business class on major airlines) tickets departing in December can buy one-way tickets starting from a total fare of 142,000 KRW. A Jeju Air official stated, "We expect increased convenience for business travelers with the resumption of the Tokyo route."
