Three-month trial starting May 12
Jeju Air announced on the 31st that it will run a three-month trial of a twice-weekly Incheon–Jeju service from May 12 through August 7.
The schedule sends the flight out of Jeju International Airport at 3:55 PM, arriving at Incheon International Airport at 5:10 PM. The return leg departs Incheon at 6:05 PM and lands in Jeju at 7:25 PM.
On the launch day the airline will operate only a morning flight. After that, through May 30 the service will operate on Tuesdays and Saturdays, then switch to Mondays and Fridays starting June 1.
With this route, foreign visitors arriving at Incheon International Airport can complete domestic transfer procedures there and fly directly to Jeju—no need to transit through Gimpo International Airport.
According to the Jeju Tourism Big Data Service platform’s “Yearly Statistics of Foreign Visitors to Jeju,” 2,242,187 foreign travelers visited Jeju last year, a 17.7% increase from 1,905,696 in 2024.
Jeju Air expects the route to cut travel time and costs for residents of Incheon and northwestern Gyeonggi Province visiting Jeju, while also making it easier for Jeju residents to reach international flights.
To celebrate the new Incheon–Jeju link, Jeju Air will run a ticket promotion from April 1–19. One-way fares—including fuel surcharges and airport facility fees—start at 13,100 KRW (about $9.83).
The carrier will also offer a promo code for up to 10,000 KRW (about $7.50) off round-trip fares. Additionally, if a group of three or more—including at least one child aged 2–12—books travel in May, Jeju Air will waive fares for all child passengers in the party.
A Jeju Air spokesperson said, “We expect the Incheon–Jeju route to help promote balanced regional tourism growth and improve interregional travel convenience.”
