Jeju Air marked its 20th anniversary of operations on June 5.

Over the past 20 years since Jeju Air began operations, the airline has carried a total of 137.55 million passengers.

Since launching its Jeju to Gimpo route on June 5, 2006, Jeju Air has maintained a single-type aircraft operation strategy for 20 years, securing cost competitiveness and operational efficiency. Based on this, the airline has established a practical competitive framework in the domestic aviation market, led the popularization of air travel, and grown into the number one domestic LCC carrier.

Following the Gimpo-Jeju route, Jeju Air launched the Gimpo-Busan and Busan-Jeju routes in the same year, and in March 2009, expanded into international flights by launching the Incheon-Osaka route. Since then, it has rapidly grown by adding routes to Southeast Asia and Chinese-speaking regions.

Jeju Air currently operates a total of 64 routes, including 7 domestic routes and 57 routes across the Asia-Pacific region, including Japan, China, Southeast Asia, and Oceania.

A Jeju Air official, speaking to this newspaper by phone, said, "Over the past 20 years, we have continuously grown by securing cost competitiveness and operational efficiency based on our single-type aircraft operation strategy."
