The engine replacement is a task of swapping the currently operating aircraft engine with a spare engine according to the scheduled maintenance cycle. Jeju Air carries out aircraft engine replacement work in accordance with the aircraft manufacturer maintenance manual approved by the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA). It is an essential procedure for safe flight operations.

A Jeju Air official stated, "We conduct thorough maintenance and inspections with the top priority of safe flight operations," adding, "We will do our best to create a flight environment that passengers can trust and feel secure in."

Meanwhile, Jeju Air conducts heavy maintenance on more than 10 engines annually, including 18 engines in 2023 and 14 engines last year, at overseas engine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO) companies authorized by the FAA and EASA.
