Chinese Tourist Arrested for Unauthorized Drone Use Near Jeju International Airport

January 10, 2025

On January 9, as severe weather conditions affected the Jeju region, a Chinese tourist was apprehended for illegally flying a drone near Jeju International Airport. The Jeju Police Agency reported that the individual, identified as Mr. A, launched the drone without permission approximately 2 kilometers from the airport runway on December 31. Authorities are investigating potential security threats in collaboration with the National Intelligence Service and Korea Airports Corporation, as the area within a 9.3-kilometer radius of the airport is designated as a no-fly zone for drones. This incident follows a previous occurrence last year when a suspected drone-related object was detected, leading to flight disruptions and inconveniencing travelers.
