The busiest by some margin is Jeju (CJU) – Seoul (GMP) with 17 million annual seats, equivalent to around 48,000 on average each day. 

Jeju is a popular holiday destination for Koreans and although the flight from Seoul is relatively short, at 243nm (451km), as an island there are fewer other transport options for reaching it.
