[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Hwang Du-yeol] Air Busan is deploying temporary flights on the Jeju route to accommodate the significant increase in travel demand to Jeju Island this fall and enhance passenger convenience.

From the 15th to the 29th, Air Busan has scheduled 48 temporary flights on the Busan-Jeju route and 26 on the Gimpo-Jeju route, adding a total of 13,860 seats.

Throughout October, Air Busan will operate 1,390 flights on all Jeju routes, including Ulsan-Jeju, providing a total of 300,000 seats.

The Jeju route in October is a traditionally popular route with many travelers visiting for the fall season, with high demand from various groups and gatherings, resulting in chronic seat shortages.

According to Air Busan, unlike last year, due to the lifting of major quarantine measures and recovery in travel sentiment, the number of passengers on the Busan-Jeju route from the 1st to the 16th increased by 14% compared to last year.

Load factors on both the Busan-Jeju and Gimpo-Jeju routes have exceeded 95%, making it difficult to find seats regardless of weekdays or weekends.

Accordingly, Air Busan has increased flights to improve travel convenience for passengers on the Jeju route.

An Air Busan official said, “We have added flights to resolve the annual fall seat shortage on the Jeju route. We recommend travelers who have not yet secured tickets to consider flying to Jeju with Air Busan.”

Air Busan operates three Jeju routes: ▲Busan-Jeju (11 round trips daily) ▲Gimpo-Jeju (8 round trips daily) ▲Ulsan-Jeju (2 round trips daily).
