From Seoul’s glass towers and luxury hotels to Busan’s waterfront and Jeju’s volcanic landscapes, South Korea links business and leisure across a compact, well-connected country. Chartering a private jet allows travellers to fly between major cities or reach the southern islands on their own schedule. Executives visit Seoul for finance, technology, and trade, while leisure travellers continue to Busan for beaches and seafood, or Jeju for hiking and golf. Private aviation ensures privacy, speed, and comfort throughout the journey.

As far as regulations are concerned, LunaJets' business aviation experts will handle the majority of the details during your private flight to/from South Korea, allowing you to enjoy a seamless, convenient, and uninterrupted travel experience. We'll ensure your trip runs smoothly without you having to worry about the specifics. Here's the main information on the regulations governing business aviation in South Korea. Don't hesitate to ask our agents if you need further clarification on any point.
Entry and Exit Requirements
- Visas: Depending on your nationality, visa requirements may vary. Verify requirements based on your nationality here: Korea Visa Portal (Visa Navigator). Visa-exempt nationals may need to obtain a K-ETA (Korea Electronic Travel Authorization) prior to travel.
- Customs: Standard customs procedures apply, with simplified processing for private aviation passengers. Personal items are generally allowed within duty-free limits; currency and restricted items must be declared.
- Immigration: Private jet travellers may benefit from private CIQ facilities at select airports (including Seoul Gimpo Business Aviation Center), subject to advance coordination.
- Travel Insurance: Not mandatory but highly recommended; LunaJets can assist in arranging suitable coverage tailored to your travel plans.
Flight Planning
- Compliance and Permits: LunaJets will manage all compliance details with the South Korean aviation authorities, including obtaining any required flight permits, landing permissions, traffic rights (if applicable), and slot coordination. This ensures your flight adheres to all national and international aviation regulations.
Environmental Regulations
- Noise Restrictions: Major airports such as Seoul Gimpo may apply slot controls, noise-abatement procedures, and night curfews. Other airports may have operational hour limitations depending on local regulations and air traffic control availability. LunaJets will coordinate your schedule to ensure full compliance and avoid delays.
Travel with Pets
- Conditions: To bring dogs and/or cats to South Korea, pets must be microchipped and accompanied by a veterinary health certificate endorsed by the competent authority of the country of departure, as well as proof of current rabies vaccination. Pets 90 days or older usually require a rabies antibody titre test meeting Korean entry thresholds. Pets may be inspected on arrival. Please inform our team in advance so we can verify the latest requirements and coordinate procedures for a smooth arrival. For reference: Bring a Dog or Cat to Korea.
