Jeju Airport↔Accommodation, Luggage Delivery Service Available

Parcel Delivery Service... Gimpo, Cheongju, Yangyang, Gimhae, Daegu, Gwangju

The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Korea Airports Corporation announced on the 21st that starting July 26, they will expand and implement the 'Baggage Delivery Service,' which retrieves passengers' luggage on their behalf and delivers it to hotels or other accommodations for passengers using Jeju Airport, to major airports nationwide.

After a one-year pilot operation of the baggage delivery service since July last year, user satisfaction was very high (91%), and due to many requests for service expansion, they decided to increase the service areas and participating airlines.

During the pilot operation, only six airlines participated: Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, Jin Air, Air Busan, and Air Seoul, but this time all domestic airlines are expected to participate.

The arrival airport will remain Jeju Airport, where there is high demand for baggage delivery such as family trips and golf tourism, while the departure airports will be expanded from only Gimpo to regional hub airports where appropriate demand is expected, including Cheongju, Yangyang, Gimhae, Daegu, and Gwangju Airports.

During the pilot operation, there were many requests to improve the inconvenience of baggage delivery for passengers returning from Jeju trips from hotels to Jeju Airport. Therefore, in addition to the existing Jeju Airport-to-hotel baggage delivery service, a hotel-to-Jeju Airport service will also be added.

Passengers can check out from hotels or other accommodations and send their luggage to the airport in advance, allowing them to move to the airport easily after their Jeju trip with the remaining time, achieving a true two-way 'hands-free travel.'

Kim Heon-jeong, Director of Aviation Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, said, "Through this service expansion, we expect great help in improving passenger convenience, promoting the hands-free travel policy, and alleviating congestion at arrival halls due to the transition to the COVID-19 endemic." He added, "We will continue to actively explore ways to ease regulations, enhance passenger convenience, and ensure aviation security."
