Jejuair announced Wednesday that it will relocate to a standalone headquarters building in Gangseo-gu, Seoul, in the first half of next year.

Since its founding in 2005, Jejuair has operated its Seoul office out of facilities belonging to Korea Airports Corporation at Gimpo International Airport. The move will mark the first time the airline has occupied its own dedicated building.

The new headquarters is located near Gimpo airport, allowing the company to maintain convenient access to the airport while providing a larger and more efficient work environment. The building spans 10 above-ground floors and four below-ground floors, with a total floor area of approximately 15,793 square meters, and is expected to house around 500 employees handling administrative and support functions.

However, the maintenance division, crew lounge and some field support departments that require close coordination with on-site operations will remain at their current Gimpo airport workplaces to ensure continuity and stability.

Jejuair said it will proceed with interior space planning and facility setup before finalizing a detailed relocation schedule.

Meanwhile, Jejuair is also strengthening its compliance management framework to prevent risks that could arise in transactions and contracts with affiliates and business partners.

This month, the airline invited a legal expert from Kim & Chang to conduct a practical training session for staff on preventing fair-trade risks in dealings and contracts with affiliates and business partners.
