📍(Info) After 10 years, the "Jeju–Incheon" direct flight route to resume operations in April

It's been reported that a direct flight route connecting Jeju and Incheon may begin operating as early as April. This marks the resumption of the route after 10 years, since operations were suspended in October 2016. The plan involves gradually expanding direct Incheon–regional airport routes so that foreign tourists can travel directly from Incheon Airport to regional areas. The Jeju route will start from the second quarter, The Gimhae route is expected to start operating from the third quarter, and additional review will proceed for other regional airports with a goal of fourth-quarter operation, they say. Since Incheon International Airport opened in 2001, this route began operating in earnest, but compared to the Gimpo–Jeju route, demand was low, so it was gradually scaled back, and it was completely suspended in October 2016. Apparently the reasons at the time were low passenger load factor and chronic deficits... This time, I hope it runs well, riding the wave of the K-Hallyu boom.
