On this day, the Incheon-Jeju route departed from Jeju International Airport at 9:45 a.m. and arrived at Incheon International Airport at 11:00 a.m., while the return flight departed from Incheon at 11:35 a.m. and arrived in Jeju at 12:50 p.m. The seat occupancy rate for the inaugural flight of the Incheon-Jeju route was 93.1%.

Starting from May 16, flights will depart from Jeju Airport at 3:55 p.m. and arrive at Incheon Airport at 5:10 p.m., and from Incheon Airport at 6:05 p.m., arriving at Jeju Airport at 7:25 p.m. Until May 30, flights will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays, and from June 1, flights will be on Mondays and Fridays.

With this route, foreign travelers entering Korea via Incheon International Airport can now transfer to Jeju without having to go through Gimpo International Airport, completing domestic flight procedures directly at Incheon. This is also expected to improve travel convenience for Jeju residents traveling abroad.

According to the "Statistics on Foreign Tourists Entering Jeju" provided by the Jeju Tourism Big Data Service Platform, the number of foreign visitors to Jeju last year was 2,242,187, an increase of 17.7% compared to 1,905,696 in 2024. In addition, the number of foreign tourists visiting Jeju in the first quarter of this year rose by 29.3% compared to the same period last year.

A Jeju Air official stated, "As the number of foreign tourists visiting Jeju continues to increase, we hope that operating the Incheon-Jeju route will greatly contribute to the balanced growth of regional tourism and improve travel convenience for Jeju residents."
