In 2025, the number of passengers on Jeju Air's Japanese route exceeded 4 million, the highest ever.
Jeju Air announced on the 12th that the number of passengers on Japanese routes was 4,027,000 in 2025, up 185,000 (4.8%) from 3.842 million in 2024. It increased 12.1% compared to 3,593,000 in 2023.
By route, the number of passengers per year on the Incheon-Tokyo (Narita) route was the highest with 601,000 passengers, followed by 574,000 in Incheon-Osaka and 522,000 in Incheon-Fukuoka.
Jeju Air cited the low yen exchange rate against the dollar, the preference for short-range overseas travel, and the expansion of supply seats as factors that increased the number of passengers on Japanese routes.
The Incheon-Hiroshima route, Jeju Air's sole flight route, had the highest proportion of foreigners at 53.6%, while the Incheon-Shizuoka route also accounted for 42%.
An official from Jeju Air, who spoke to this newspaper by phone, said, "The number of passengers on Japanese routes has reached the highest ever by expanding supply and strengthening route competitiveness amid the low yen and the preference for short-range travel."
