Why should this airport be added to World of Airports?
Jeju Airport can be used in two possible ways:
- The first option is a fully detailed 3D version of the airport. It would be a medium-sized airport, offering a great balance between recently released large airports such as BKK, GRU, HKG, and SCL, and mid-sized ones like NGO, PRG, and BRI.
- Alternatively, it could be added as one of the βgeneric airportsβ.

In both cases, the airport could feature operations such as runway direction changes depending on wind direction.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________Jeju is one of South Koreaβs main domestic hubs, with extremely high flight frequency β especially on the JejuβSeoul route, which is among the busiest air routes in the world. The airport handled over 30 million passengers annually before the pandemic, making it one of Asiaβs busiest single-runway airports.
Adding Jeju would introduce a mid-sized, high-traffic airport that perfectly balances the recent large international additions, bringing players more variety, regional realism, and a fresh operational 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 β 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.
