Gimhae Airport International Flights Resume Entry from December 3

Busan~Qingdao Route Resumes Gimhae Airport Entry to Alleviate Resident Inconvenience

[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] International arrivals at Gimhae Airport will resume starting from the 3rd.

Gimhae Airport had completely suspended international flights since April 6 due to the impact of the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Although Air Busan resumed the Busan?Qingdao route once a week from October 15, departures were from Gimhae Airport while arrivals were handled at Incheon Airport due to COVID-19 quarantine measures.

Currently, residents using the Qingdao route via Gimhae Airport have been experiencing time and economic losses as well as inconvenience. To resolve this, the province and Busan City have continuously requested the resumption of international arrivals at Gimhae Airport, leading to the sudden decision to reopen arrivals at Gimhae Airport starting from the 3rd.

The province plans to establish and operate a Gimhae Airport Arrival Transport Support Center for international arrivals to maintain a flawless quarantine system in response to COVID-19, and in cooperation with cities and counties, will also provide transportation support for arriving residents.

Jang Young-wook, head of the Province’s Future Strategy and New Airport Project Group, stated, “We will do our best to build a transport system for arrivals in close cooperation with cities and counties so that residents can use Gimhae Airport safely and conveniently.”
