The airline, a member of AK group, has opened a Seoul head office tower hotel at Hongik station of the Seoul Metro, to diversify income.
In 2018, Jeju Air carried 7.3 million international passengers along with 4.7 million domestic passengers. It domestic traffic has been relatively flat since 2016 as it has focused almost entirely on international expansion.[3]

Established as a joint venture by Aekyung Group and the Jeju Island government on January 25, 2005, Jeju Air became Korea's first low-cost airline. In 2016, it helped found Value Alliance, the world's first pan-regional low-cost carrier (LCC) alliance, comprising eight Asia Pacific LCCs. In 2017, Jeju Air carried over 60 million passengers, with revenue reported of $890mm US operating profits over $80mm US.
Jeju Air flight operations were affected by the coronavirus outbreak. In August 2021, Jeju Air sold stock for raising $180 million for financing operations.[5]
