According to Korea Airports Corporation Jeju Airport and Jeju Tourism Association, as of 6 PM that day, 166 flights (84 departures, 82 arrivals) to and from Jeju Airport were either canceled or preemptively canceled. The total scheduled flights for the day, including 5 temporarily added flights, amounted to 490 flights (249 departures, 241 arrivals).

Currently, typhoon and sudden wind warnings are in effect at Jeju Airport. As the typhoon gradually approaches the Korean Peninsula, airlines decided to cancel flights to and from Jeju Airport during the evening hours.

Korean Air canceled all departing and arriving flights at Jeju Airport starting with the 6:40 PM flight from Jeju to Incheon. Eastar Jet canceled all domestic flights to and from Jeju Airport starting at 4:30 PM, Asiana Airlines and Jeju Air at 5 PM, Air Busan at 6 PM, and Jin Air and T'way Air at 6:30 PM. Air Seoul and Hi Air have suspended all flights since the afternoon. It has been confirmed that only some international flights are currently undergoing final adjustments regarding their operation status.

Jeju Province plans to provide emergency supplies and manage the safety of stranded passengers by categorizing the scale of airport stayers into 'caution-alert-critical' stages. Since the typhoon was forecast several days ago and 5 additional flights were temporarily added that afternoon, it is expected that a large number of stranded passengers will not occur.

A Jeju Province official stated, "It is expected that all departing flights from Jeju Airport will be canceled until 3 PM tomorrow (the 10th). Once airport operations normalize, airlines will deploy special flights to transport passengers, so users are advised to check flight information in advance."
