Jeju International Airport

Jeju International Airport is the second largest airport in South Korea, just behind Incheon Airport in Incheon. It is located in the city of Jeju. The airport opened in 1968.

Jeju International Airport is in a geopolitically important location as the center of Northeast Asia, connecting Southeast Asia including China and Japan.
 Jeju-do is the largest Korean island; with 8 inhabited companion islands and 55 uninhabited companion islands, it forms the smallest administrative district. It is the honeymooners’ hotspot in Korea. As the largest gateway airport of Jeju-do, the number 1 graduation celebration trip site for university students, Jeju International Airport welcomes thousands of tourists on a daily basis. It is home to the world’s busiest airline route, to Seoul-Gimpo.

Due to the large number of passengers using the airport and its limited capacity, it was announced in 2019 that a second airport would be constructed on the island near the southern city of Seogwipo with an investment of 3.8 billion US dollars. It is expected to open to the public in 2025.
