With the increase, the carrier will operate up to 26 round trips a day on the route, up from a maximum of 22 scheduled round trips. Jeju Air said that is the highest number of flights among airlines serving the Gimpo-Jeju corridor.
The added service will bring Jeju Air’s frequency to about two flights an hour on the route and increase capacity by about 1,500 seats a day, round-trip basis.
According to the Transport Ministry’s aviation information portal, about 2,514,500 passengers flew Jeju Air on the Gimpo-Jeju route last year. That accounted for 16.9% of the route’s total 14,835,900 passengers and was the largest share among low-cost carriers.
In January, Jeju Air carried about 227,400 passengers on the route, the most among low-cost carriers, up 38.6% from about 164,100 a year earlier.
“We are continuing to expand air service so Jeju residents and travelers visiting Jeju can move more conveniently between Jeju and Gimpo at the times they want,” a Jeju Air official said.
