Incheon Airport Wins 2020 National Service Award in Transit Category
Evaluation of Proactive Quarantine Measures and Efforts to Attract Transfer Passengers
[Asia Economy Reporter Yu Je-hoon] Incheon International Airport Corporation announced on the 10th that it won the Grand Prize in the transit service category at the 2020 National Service Awards hosted by the Korea Institute for Industrial Policy Studies.
The National Service Awards are given to companies that have achieved innovation in both industrial services and administrative services among domestic and international companies. Established in 2017, it is the most prestigious award in the service sector presented annually.
Incheon Airport Corporation was recognized for its efforts to attract transit passengers by providing safe services through proactive quarantine measures despite the sharp decline in global air travel demand caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
In March, Incheon Airport Corporation declared itself a 'COVID-19 free airport' and focused on establishing a quarantine network by introducing a three-step fever check for departing passengers. Thanks to these efforts, despite challenges such as entry restrictions from various countries, Incheon Airport's transit rate in July increased by 19.6% year-on-year to 31.4%.
