People who visited the airport ahead of their overseas trip.
It's when you're full of excitement and expectations, but after the Jeju Air passenger plane disaster, there's also anxiety in the back of your mind.
[Lee Changmin / Overseas Traveler: I'm nervous. It's not that I'm anxious. It's a family trip, so I can't bite right away....]
[Hong Seung-woo / Overseas traveler: I was going to meet my family again and I was going to cancel it, but I was wondering if the maintenance would have been done properly this time....]
In fact, there have also been more cases of canceling overseas trips due to concerns about getting on a plane.
In the case of a large travel agency, the average daily travel cancellation rate is 40-50%, but it has doubled the day after the plane disaster.
In other words, all the reservations for a day have been sold out.
Cancellations increased mainly on low-cost airline flights such as Jeju Air, and some customers asked if it was the same model as the disaster model.
[Travel industry official: Due to the closure of Muan Airport, temporary cancellations have increased a lot. Low-cost airlines had high cancellation rates overall.]
In the case of Jeju Air, 68,000 domestic and international flights were canceled one day after the disaster.
[Kim Yi-bae / Jeju Air CEO: Of course, there are more cancellations than usual. How quickly we can regain trust....]
Travel agencies have suspended all advertisements, including online and home shopping, since the disaster.
The travel and aviation industries are concerned that the aftermath will be prolonged due to a major catastrophe at a time when demand has contracted due to high exchange rates and high prices.
