[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] Korea Airports Corporation announced on the 8th that it has completed the remodeling of the Gimpo Airport international terminal and newly opened it.

The corporation promoted the remodeling of the Gimpo Airport international terminal from April to improve passenger convenience following the resumption of international flights and an increase in customers after COVID-19, completing the construction at the end of October.

The corporation replaced the flooring materials in the terminal waiting area where passengers come and go and painted the ceiling to create a bright and cheerful atmosphere. Modern finishing materials and designs were applied to the walls of the arrival hall to present a pleasant and safe airport.

Yoon Hyung-jung, president of Korea Airports Corporation, said, “Gimpo Airport is an airport with excellent urban accessibility, and the corporation will do its best to prioritize safety and ensure that passengers can use the airport with peace of mind and convenience by making thorough preparations for the resumption of international routes.”

Previously, the corporation built a parking building at the Gimpo Airport international terminal, increasing the number of international parking spaces by 567 to a total of 1,767. By introducing an automatic baggage sorting system, the baggage handling time was reduced from an average of 8 minutes 30 seconds to 6 minutes 30 seconds, preparing for the post-COVID era with phased facility improvements for the resumption of international flights.
