Korean Air to Offer More Convenient Transfers to Jeju Island

Beginning 25 March 2012, Korean Air will offer more convenient connecting flights between Incheon International Airport in Seoul and Jeju Island, a favorite vacation spot located off the southern tip of the Korean Peninsula.

Jeju Island recently was named one the “New 7Wonders of Nature”, along with the Amazon, Halong Bay, Iguazu Falls, Komodo, Puerto Princesa Underground River and Table Mountain. The volcanic island is Korea’s largest island, smallest province and home to its tallest mountain, Halla-san, a dramatic-looking dormant volcano that rises over a mile above sea level.

The people of Jeju have developed a culture and language distinct from those of mainland Korea, and the island is famous for its matriarchal family structure symbolized by the “sea women” who make a living from deep-sea diving to harvest marine products.

Korean Air’s new service will be operated by Boeing 737-800 aircraft with 149 seats. The flight will depart Incheon International Airport daily at 19:05 and arrive just over an hour later in Jeju Island at 20:10. The return flight departs daily from Jeju Island at 17:00 returns to Seoul Incheon International Airport at 18:05.

With the launch of this new route, Korean Air can conveniently connect passengers from its extensive global network to Jeju Island via Incheon International Airport. With easier access, it is expected that Jeju Island will become a more attractive holiday and vacation destination to international travelers and travel planners.
