The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced on the 15th that all aircraft takeoffs and landings will be completely restricted nationwide for 35 minutes from 13:05 to 13:40 on November 17, when the English listening test of the 2023 College Scholastic Ability Test is conducted.

To prevent aircraft noise during the English listening test period, the Ministry plans to completely ban aircraft takeoffs and landings at all domestic airports except for emergency and urgent flights. Aircraft in flight must wait at an altitude of more than 3 km above the ground under the control of air traffic control authorities.

As a result of this measure, the operation times of a total of 77 flights, including 18 international flights and 59 domestic flights scheduled to operate during the relevant time, will be adjusted before and after the English listening test time. Airlines will notify passengers with reservations in advance about the flight schedule changes.

The Ministry advised passengers planning to use aircraft to "check the flight operation times in advance on the day of use."
