According to Korean Air on January 18, after the entry of the Departure Center for all international flights on January 1, next year, the company plans to charge an additional 200,000 won for the cancellation of passengers.
Currently, Korean Air has applied a penalty of KRW 120,000 for long-distance routes such as the Americas, Europe, the Middle East, Oceania and Africa, KRW 70,000 for medium-distance routes such as Southeast Asia and Southwest Asia and Tashkent, and KRW 50,000 for short-haul routes such as Japan, China, Hong Kong, Taiwan and Mongolia.
However, in the future, if you cancel your flight after entering the Departure chapter, you will be charged an additional 200,000 won for each amount. In this case, long-distance routes will be charged up to 320,000 won, medium-range routes up to 70,000 won, and short-haul routes up to 50,000 won.
This decision is due to the fact that the recent abuse of low commission and fee exemption system has led to false Departure procedures and flight boarding and cancellation of tickets.
In fact, on the 15th, Hong Kong Airport was on a Korean Air passenger plane to Incheon, and three Korean wave idol Wanna One polar fans, including two Chinese and one Hong Kong, climbed and watched the entertainer and said they would get off just before takeoff. For this reason, all 360 passengers were off the plane and received a security check again, so The Departure was Ji-yeon for nearly an hour.
Korean Air has reportedly refunded airfare to all three idol fans who were forced to cause trouble, and paid the cost of taking off Ji-yeon to Hong Kong International Airport.
If some passengers board and voluntarily do so, all passengers on the flight should be checked again for security reasons. This causes the flight Ji-yeon to occur, and the damage is returned to the actual passenger.
In addition, the need to prevent false Departure procedures is emerging by causing additional input of airlines, the Ministry of Justice, and airport security personnel and waste of expenses as well as aviation security problems throughout the entire process of passengers canceling boarding.
An official of the company said, "We expect that customers who have settled a healthy boarding culture and have an opportunity to board due to unreasonable reservation failure will have an opportunity to use flights through the supplementation of the reservation default penalty system."
Applying from January 1 next year..." Expecting a healthy boarding culture."
