According to Jeju Air's 2025 statistics, the use of parental leave increased compared to the previous year. This is the result of operating a system to support employees in balancing work and family life.

The number of Jeju Air employees taking parental leave steadily rose from 114 in 2023 (16 men, 98 women) to 123 in 2024 (29 men, 94 women), and further to 186 in 2025 (49 men, 137 women). In particular, in 2025, there was a 51.2% increase (63 people) compared to 2024. The number of male users increased by 69.0% (20 people), and female users increased by 45.7% (43 people).

In line with the government's improvements to systems supporting work-family balance, Jeju Air is sequentially implementing measures including the introduction of a short-term parental leave system, the establishment of bereavement and miscarriage leave for spouses, the implementation of pre- and post-natal leave for spouses, and equalizing the "expansion of the scope of parental leave" available to male employees before their spouse's childbirth.

A Jeju Air official who spoke with this newspaper by phone explained, "We are actively implementing work-family balance systems so that employees can respond more flexibly to various caregiving situations arising according to their children's life stages while stably continuing their careers."
