Jeonnam Social Organizations "Gwangju Mayor Lee Yong-seop, Fulfill the Promise to Relocate the Private Airport"

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Yoon Jamin] Social organizations in Jeonnam strongly criticized Gwangju Mayor Lee Yong-seop's announcement to decide the relocation of Gwangju civilian airport in connection with the military airport through a four-party consultative body.

Six social organizations in Jeonnam, including the Jeonnam Chapter of the Korea Construction Association, the Jeonnam Chapter of the Korea Specialty Contractors Association, the Jeonnam Private Taxi Transport Business Association, the Jeonnam Taxi Transport Business Association, the Jeonnam Private (Freight) Truck Transport Business Association, and the Jeonnam Charter Bus Transport Business Association, issued a statement at Muan International Airport on the 13th, urging the fulfillment of the promise to "integrate Gwangju Airport's domestic flights into Muan International Airport by 2021."

They said, "The promise made with the citizens of the city and province through the tripartite agreement among Gwangju, Jeonnam, and Muan County in 2018 has been broken," and added, "Seeing the series of actions linking the integration of the civilian airport to the four-party consultative body for the military airport relocation, what is the win-win politics that Mayor Lee Yong-seop talks about?"

They continued, "We cannot help but wonder where the true image of a responsible leader has gone," and stated, "Mayor Lee Yong-seop should apologize to the citizens of the city and province for reversing the civilian airport relocation agreement and relocate the Gwangju civilian airport by 2021 as originally promised."
