Jeju International Airport — What to Expect

Jeju International Airport is one of the world's busiest airports by passenger movements, serving South Korea's beloved volcanic holiday island. Located just 4 km from Jeju city, the airport handles a staggering 30 million passengers per year — mainly on the Seoul-Jeju route, the world's busiest air route. Jeju offers hiking on Hallasan volcano, unique lava tube caves, beautiful waterfalls and the famous haenyeo female free-divers. A pre-booked transfer or rental car is the best way to explore the island.

Jeju Airport handles enormous passenger volumes and has two terminals. The Seoul-Jeju route alone carries over 15 million passengers per year. The island is a UNESCO Global Geopark.

Getting from CJU to Jeju

Ground transport from Jeju International Airport depends on your group size, luggage and what time you land. Here are the realistic options at CJU:

  • Pre-booked private transfer — fixed price from $8, driver meets you at arrivals with a name sign, flight tracked automatically, free cancellation up to 24 hours before pickup. In South Korea, this is often significantly cheaper than a metered taxi.
  • Airport taxi — metered and honest but expensive. South Korea taxis are among the priciest in Asia.
  • Ride-hailing apps — Kakao T may be available depending on local coverage.
  • Public transport — excellent rail and bus connections likely available. Check if an airport express train operates here.

Taxi vs Ride Apps vs Public Transport at CJU
