[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Oh Hwan-joo] The Muan County Prosperity Association raised its voice demanding Gwangju Metropolitan City keep its promise to relocate Gwangju Civil Airport.

The Muan County Prosperity Association (President Park Moon-jae) issued a statement at Muan County Office on the 15th, urging the fulfillment of the promise to "integrate Gwangju Airport's domestic flights into Muan International Airport by 2021."

They expressed strong regret, stating that the relocation of the civil airport, separate from the military airport issue, is a matter to be implemented by next year according to the government's basic aviation policy plan and the "Muan International Airport Revitalization Agreement" signed in 2018. However, Gwangju Metropolitan City has evaded responsibility by proposing a four-party consultative body and has effectively broken its unconditional promise to relocate the civil airport.

President Park Moon-jae of the Prosperity Association said, "Gwangju Metropolitan City should stop unilateral regional selfishness and carry out the integration procedure of Gwangju Civil Airport and Muan International Airport by 2021 as promised."
