[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seoul Metro will deploy an additional train on Line 5 to assist passengers stranded due to flight cancellations in Jeju Island.


The train will arrive at Gangdong at 1:10 AM on the 25th, extending the operating hours by one hour.


The additional train will depart from Banghwa Station at 11:56 PM on the 24th. It will then depart from Gimpo Airport at midnight on the 25th, pass through the city center, and arrive at 1:10 AM on the 25th.


Among the lines operated by the corporation from Lines 1 to 8, only Line 5 will have extended service; other lines will not operate beyond their usual hours. Therefore, passengers traveling on Line 5 will not be able to transfer to other lines after the extension. Corporation staff will assist customers attempting to transfer from Line 5.



A corporation official stated, “We hope that the additional train will help passengers return home safely and conveniently from the airport,” and added, “Please note that other lines will not have extended service, so plan your travel accordingly.”
