Newly elected Jeju Island Governor Wi Seong-gon has proposed a system guaranteeing priority airline seat allocation for Jeju residents. The initiative aims to address long-standing concerns about accessibility and travel difficulties for islanders. Governor Wi believes the “Jeju Resident Seat Priority System” will ensure residents are not disadvantaged when traveling to and from the mainland. The proposal seeks to secure a designated number of seats on flights connecting Jeju to other parts of South Korea. This measure is intended to alleviate issues caused by high demand, particularly during peak seasons and holidays. Further details regarding implementation and potential collaboration with airlines are expected to be announced soon. The proposal has garnered attention as a key pledge during his election campaign.
