Jeju Air will extend the operation period of its air route connecting Incheon and Jeju through the spring of next year and increase the number of flights.

Jeju Air announced on September 14 that it will extend the operation period of the Incheon-Jeju route until March 27, 2027, and increase the frequency from two to three flights per week.

Jeju Air initially launched this route in May with two weekly flights and had planned to operate it only during this summer schedule, but decided to continue operations until March 27, 2027. From November 2, 2026, through March 27, 2027, the frequency will increase to three flights per week, specifically operating on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Since its launch on May 12, the route has carried approximately 11,600 passengers through the end of August, achieving an average load factor of 87.1%. Among them, foreign travelers accounted for about 30.4%, or roughly 3,500 passengers. By nationality, Chinese passengers made up the largest group at around 1,170, followed by Americans (around 500), French (around 130), and Japanese (around 120). From January to August of this year, 160,000 foreign passengers used Jeju Air’s Gimpo and Incheon to Jeju routes, marking a 28.8% increase compared to the same period last year (124,000 passengers).

To celebrate the increased flight frequency, Jeju Air is offering discounted airfares and a child fare exemption promotion until 5:00 p.m. on September 20. One-way tickets for the Incheon-Jeju route, valid for travel until March 27, 2027, will start at 26,200 won, including fuel surcharges and airport facility fees. In addition, for select flights departing between November 15, 2026, and March 19, 2027, passengers booking for three or more people (including children aged 2–12) will be eligible for a full waiver of child fares for all children in the reservation.

A representative from Jeju Air stated, "By increasing the frequency and extending the operation period of the Incheon-Jeju route, we hope to enhance accessibility to Jeju and contribute to the growth of Jeju tourism."
