Jeju Airport resumed flight operations on the 25th as the weather warning was lifted, and additional temporary flights were put in until the 26th to transport passengers stranded in Jeju.
On the 25th alone, 525 domestic flights were operated, carrying a total of 108,000 passengers.
However, as the weather in the central region worsened on the 26th, delays at Jeju Airport continued due to problems with connecting flights. In the case of some airlines, flights are delayed due to non-compliance with flight attendant regulations, or flights are delayed due to lack of boarding gates or airport control reasons.
According to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport’s aviation information portal, as of 5:00 p.m. on the same day, out of 235 flights departing from Jeju, only 47 were operated on time, and 7 were canceled and 115 were delayed. In the case of arriving flights, only 46 out of 237 flights were operated on time, 7 flights were canceled, and as many as 120 flights were delayed. Delay means more than 15 minutes beyond the scheduled time.
In fact, T’Way Air flight TW718, which was scheduled to depart at 1:30 p.m., took off at 3:59 p.m., and Asiana Airlines OZ8950, which was scheduled to depart at 2 p.m., departed at 4:32 p.m.
A passenger waiting for departure at Jeju International Airport that day complained of inconvenience, saying, “It is displayed as delayed on the notification monitor, but the delayed flight time is not even displayed.” appealed
