As the sun goes down, there is a snowstorm and the runway of Jeju Airport is not visible.

The aircraft tries hard to land, but gives up and goes back.

Jeju Airport experienced a setback in flight operations in the afternoon due to strong winds and blizzard conditions.

Jeju Airport has more than 200 flight cancellations due to disruptions in flight operations at airports in other regions such as Gwangju and Yeosu.

Tourists who try to return home after the trip are exhausted from cancellation due to inclement weather.

[Park Jeong-eun / Changwon, South Gyeongsang Province: The weather has suddenly been canceled, so we're going to have to take it the day after tomorrow (11th).]

Passengers who have to go to other regional airports because they don't have flights home are also worried.

[Lee Chaeyoung / Jeonju City, North Jeolla Province] I originally booked a flight to Gwangju Airport, but it's all booked, so I think it's hard to go home because I have to go to Cheongju Airport.]

Due to the cancellation of such heavy snow and strong winds, more than 9,000 aircraft passengers are stranded in Jeju.

Jeju Airport has 1 to 5cm of snow overnight, and strong winds and sudden wind warnings are also extended, which is expected to cause delays even if flights resume.
