Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Jeju is a key domestic hub with extremely high flight frequency, especially on the Jeju–Seoul route — one of the busiest air routes in the world. It handled over 30 million passengers annually before the pandemic, making it one of the busiest single-runway airports in Asia. Adding a mid-sized, high-traffic airport like Jeju would bring balance to the recent additions of large international hubs in the game, offering players more variety and a fresh regional challenge.

Unique Features or Challenges
Island airport with limited runway and taxi space, along with fast aircraft turnaround times. Frequent weather changes due to its coastal location — including typhoons and heavy rain in summer, strong winds and low visibility in winter. High traffic density with short intervals between movements requires efficient ground handling. Seasonal travel peaks, especially during holidays, create additional congestion, and the single-runway setup increases operational complexity during high-demand periods.
