The area within 9.3 km of Jeju Airport is a no-fly zone for illegal drones, and violators can be fined up to 5 million KRW.

Since December 2023, Jeju Airport has been operating an illegal drone detection system, and when unauthorized drone flights are detected, the police are dispatched to the scene.

Since the operation of the illegal drone detection system, 37 cases of illegal drone flights have been detected, with 6 cases resulting in fines after on-site apprehension.

The campaign was jointly conducted by the Jeju Regional Aviation Administration and Korea Airports Corporation, distributing promotional materials related to illegal drones to visitors arriving in Jeju in preparation for the increase in outdoor activities during spring.

Additionally, a promotional quiz about drone no-fly zones was held for passengers, providing guidance on drone no-fly zones near the airport.

Illegal drone signs and banners installed near Jeju Airport were maintained, and further installations will continue to promote awareness of illegal drones near the airport.
