South Korea's transport ministry says a new airport will open on the southern resort island of Jeju in 2025.
The new airport will handle only domestic flights,... which are currently solely hosted by Jeju International Airport.
The South Korean government believes, once the new airport is open, passengers on domestic flights will experience less inconvenience during the peak season.
It also says the new airport will be a great help when the other airport is forced to shut due to bad weather.
The ministry estimates around 19 million passengers will use the new airport every year.
