Korea Business Jet Q1 Movements Surge 95% YoY; Jeju Airport Nearly Triples — APAC's Most Underrated Emerging Market Accelerates Takeoff
Analysis
AviGo data shows Korea Q1 2026 business jet movements jumped from 597 to 1,166, +95.3% YoY. All three major airports broadly burst: Seoul Gimpo RKSS +40.8% (368 → 518); Incheon RKSI +83.1% (77 → 141); Jeju RKPC +192.3% (39 → 114). Three airports combined grew from 484 to 773 (+59.7%). Although absolute volume is still small (national Q1 just ~1,166), the growth pace is far ahead among APAC's five countries. Combined with APAC fleet 2025 growth +1.5% (multi-year high) and long-range type dominance, Korea market's explosive growth warrants FBO operators' and charter brokers' close attention. Confidence ★★★ (AviGo data + KG trend dual cross-verification).
