Jeju Air (089590.KS) Reason to Pay Attention! Jeju Air (089590.KS) Reason to pay attention! Company Note │Dec 30, 2019 Although Jeju Air is expected to record a large-scale deficit for 4Q19, we believe the firm’s share price already reflects the likely earnings disappointment. Going forward, Jeju Air’s share price should move in accordance with downsizing efforts following the anticipated acquisition of Hold (maintain) Eastar Jet. In particular, we believe that resolving oversupply issues in the market via fleet reductions is to be a key factor.

Having obtained a regular air transport business license in Aug 2005, the company now operates around 79 routes across the world.

Through 3Q19, the firm’s M/S stood at 9.4% in terms of international passenger demand.
