South Korea is experiencing its heaviest November snowfall in over a century, with at least 220 flights grounded and 90 ferry services suspended due to severe weather conditions.
The Korea Meteorological Administration reported 18cm of snow in Seoul by Wednesday afternoon (Nov 27), the highest November accumulation since records began in 1907. The snowstorm has disrupted transportation nationwide, with power outages affecting thousands of homes and icy roads slowing commutes in major cities.
For those with clients travelling to South Korea, verifying flight statuses is essential, as domestic routes have been most affected. Scoot, which operates flights between Singapore and South Korea, confirmed its services remain operational but may adjust schedules based on weather conditions. “The safety of customers and crew is our priority, and we will continue to monitor the situation in South Korea closely,” said a Scoot spokesperson.
In-country travellers should be advised to exercise caution, particularly during outdoor activities. A heavy snow warning is in effect, urging people to avoid unnecessary travel and remain alert to hazards such as falling trees and debris.
With snowfall expected to continue, maintaining clear communication with clients and offering alternative arrangements where necessary will help minimise disruptions and ensure a smoother travel experience.
