[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Chun-han] Ha Tae-kyung, a member of the People Power Party, announced on the 23rd, "I propose a tripartite joint meeting among PK, TK, and Gwangju-Honam for the coexistence of regional gateway airports."

On the same day, Ha stated on Facebook, "I welcome the constructive proposal to jointly pass the special airport law for Busan, Daegu, and Gwangju by former Liberty Korea Party leader Hong Joon-pyo," adding, "Turning Busan Gadeokdo, Daegu New Airport, and Gwangju Muan New Airport into regional gateway airports as a cornerstone for balanced regional development is definitely worth discussing."

Ha said, "Currently, Busan faces the issue of constructing Gadeok New Airport, Daegu-Gyeongbuk has the Gunwi New Airport issue, and the Honam region has the problem of relocating Gwangju Airport followed by Muan New Airport. All share the commonality of being linked to military airport issues," and "I propose a tripartite joint meeting for the coexistence of Busan, Daegu, and Gwangju airports."

Ha added, "We need to prepare a comprehensive and fair solution to the issues of each regional gateway airport," and "Let's start a discussion on a major local decentralization innovation that promotes balanced development across all regions of the Republic of Korea through airport innovation."
