Hong Kong's low-fare airline HK Express today announced that it is launching Asia's first international scheduled flight to Jeju, the island south of the Korean Peninsula on 27 June 2015. It will operate flight services on the route every Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday.

On 27 June 2015, HK Express flight UO1676 departs from Hong Kong at 2.05 am for Jeju and arrives in Jeju at 6.20 am before taking off for Hong Kong at 7.30 am and touching down in Hong Kong at 9.20 am under UO1677.

Last year 1.8 million Chinese tourists visited Jeju, home to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hallasan National Park which contains the famous Jeju Volcanic Island and Lava Tubes, Cheongjiyeon and Cheongjeyeon Waterfalls and Mount Halla. This year, 5.6 million Chinese tourists are expected to visit Jeju. Many residents of Jeju are Chinese, Koreans and Japanese.

HK Express does not face any competition from Korean and other Hong Kong airlines on the new route.
