About Jeju International Airport

Jeju's island location creates variable weather. Strong winds common, especially in winter from Asian high pressure.

Is Jeju Airport turbulent?

Jeju Island lies off South Korea's southern coast, exposed to strong winds year-round. The volcanic island's terrain creates local turbulence effects. Typhoons occasionally affect the island during summer and early autumn. The route between Seoul and Jeju is one of the world's busiest domestic routes.

Why is Jeju so windy?

Jeju's isolated island location in the Korea Strait means no protection from winds blowing from any direction. The volcanic terrain, including Hallasan peak, creates additional turbulence effects. Strong winter monsoon winds from Siberia and summer typhoon systems both affect the island.

When is the best time to fly to Jeju?

Spring (April-May) and autumn (September-October) offer the most pleasant conditions. Summer brings typhoon risk and humid weather. Winter monsoon winds can cause delays. The high flight frequency means rebooking is usually possible when weather disrupts operations.

Is turbulence at Jeju dangerous?

No. Modern aircraft are designed to withstand forces far stronger than turbulence. While bumps can feel uncomfortable, they do not pose a safety risk. Pilots actively avoid rough air whenever possible. Learn more about turbulence

Best seats to reduce turbulence when flying from Jeju?

Seats near the wings feel the least movement because they are closest to the aircraft's center of gravity. Seats at the back of the aircraft feel turbulence more strongly. Learn more about seat selection
