Incheon Airport Conducts Volunteer Activities in Vietnam, "Contributing to Strengthening Bilateral Friendship"

Incheon International Airport Corporation announced on September 14 that a joint volunteer group, composed of resident staff at Incheon Airport, carried out overseas volunteer activities in Phu Tho Province, Vietnam, from September 8 to 13.

This overseas volunteer initiative involved 40 volunteers, including Shin Gakyun, Executive Director of Management at Incheon International Airport Corporation, as well as executives and employees from the corporation, government agencies, airlines, subsidiaries, and resident companies.

Phu Tho Province in Vietnam, where the activities took place, is a city near Long Thanh, where the corporation is currently conducting an overseas airport project (Long Thanh New Airport Consulting Project). The corporation explained that this volunteer activity went beyond simple social contribution, embodying cooperation between the two airports and, furthermore, signifying friendship and partnership between the two countries.

During the volunteer period, the members worked on improving housing conditions for low-income families and conducted Korean culture education activities for students at a local middle school (Huyen Luong Middle School in Phu Tho Province). The housing improvement project targeted four households that were damaged by a typhoon in 2024, with volunteers directly repairing and renovating the affected homes, adding to the significance of the effort. On September 10, a completion ceremony for the renovated houses was held.

In addition to housing improvements, the volunteers engaged in various Korean culture education activities with local youth, including Korean language lessons using K-pop lyrics, K-pop recorder ensemble performances, spinning top and traditional knot-making, and soap making.

The Incheon Airport Joint Volunteer Group, which participated in this activity, is composed of resident staff from various organizations working at Incheon Airport and has carried out a variety of volunteer activities annually since its establishment in 2021.

President Lee Hakjae stated, "Including this overseas volunteer activity, we will continue to actively participate in various social contribution initiatives both domestically and internationally, thereby faithfully fulfilling our social responsibilities as Korea's leading public enterprise and a global airport operator."
