▲ On the 6th, Chinese illegal residents are demanding more flights to China in front of the Consulate General of Jeju in China.


As the skies between Jeju and China were cut off, Chinese people trying to depart from Jeju flocked to the Consulate General of China, urging them to take measures.

According to Jeju Immigration and Foreign Affairs Agency on June 6, 149 of 18 routes between Jeju and China have been suspended since mid-month except for China Spring Airlines.

It was confirmed that Spring Airlines also announced its policy to suspend the Jeju-Shanghai route, which was operated once per day (based on departure), on August 8.

Spring Airlines did not disclose when and why the flight was resumed.

The number of illegal Chinese residents who want to leave their country is growing rapidly.

Since the Ministry of Justice encouraged voluntary departures for illegal immigrants, 1,320 people in Jeju alone reported their departure from the 1st to the 4th of last month, and 436 of them left.

894 people are waiting to leave.

On the past three days, more than 250 Chinese illegal immigrants applied for voluntary departures at the same time.

The increase in outbound applicants is in line with the increase in domestic coroner virus infection.

The new corona has cut off domestic and foreign tourists and the Jeju economy has been hit by a direct bomb.

In front of the Chinese Consulate General in Jeju, more than 250 Chinese illegal immigrants called for more flights to China.

They even reported voluntary departures from illegal residents, but appealed that they would not be able to return to China because there were no flights.

They asked the Consulate General of China to help them move to other areas, especially if they were illegal and could not travel to other areas, such as Incheon, where flights to China are currently operating.

Wang Mo, a 30-year-old woman from Shanxi Province, said, "I have no job and I want to return home, but there is no way for me to return home."

Mr. Wang added that even if it is not a non-stop flight, it is possible to transfer domestically just by going to China.

Another Chinese said, "The Spring Airlines flight that I booked on the 10th was suddenly canceled," he said. "I quit my job while applying for a self-departure.

But China's consulate general says there is no point right now.

The consulate-in-country asks nationals who visited this day to write down their name, contact information, address, and social network service (SNS) ID and dismiss it.

We are currently looking at situations where flights have been lost, and will contact you when future flight schedules are confirmed.

However, some local governments, including Shandong, Jilin, and Shanghai, have been dealing with Corona 19 intensively, including 14 days of self-isolation or quarantine of designated hotels. The prospect is that.

In particular, the captain and the crew who boarded a flight to Korea are not exceptions.
