Hanjin to Operate 'Carrier Transportation Service' with Seoul Metro

Hanjin announced on the 23rd that it will operate a 'Carrier Transportation Service' that combines Seoul Metro's station infrastructure and customer service with delivery services.

The 'Carrier Transportation Service' is a service that transports carriers on the same day from 'Ttottareo Base,' a living logistics center installed in subway stations, to the Hanjin Courier Counter at Incheon Airport to enhance convenience for domestic and international travelers in line with the recovery of travel. It allows travelers to move comfortably to Incheon Airport without the hassle of heavy luggage.

'Ttottareo Base' is a citizen convenience space created by Seoul Metro utilizing vacant stores and idle spaces within stations. Since the launch of the Carrier Transportation Service in December 2019, operations were suspended due to COVID-19. However, starting from the 22nd, the service is provided at four locations: Seoul Station on Line 1, Hongdae Entrance Station on Line 2, Myeongdong Station on Line 4, and Gimpo Airport Station on Line 5.

The Carrier Transportation Service allows customers to make a reservation in advance on the 'Ttottareo Base' website and drop off their carriers at one of the four 'Ttottareo Base' locations by 11 a.m. on the day of departure from Incheon Airport. The carriers can then be picked up at the Hanjin Courier Counter at Incheon Airport after 4 p.m. Prices range from 20,000 to 45,000 KRW depending on the carrier size and weekday or weekend delivery. The service operates 365 days a year without holidays.

The Hanjin Courier Counter at Incheon Airport is located opposite the B check-in counter on the 3rd floor of Terminal 1 and the H check-in counter on the 3rd floor of Terminal 2.

Through the Hanjin Courier Counter at Incheon Airport, Hanjin also provides airport courier services that allow sending items between Incheon Airport and home during overseas travel, golf courier services, and Incheon Airport storage services for heavy luggage, enhancing travel convenience.

A Hanjin official stated, “Thanks to the collaboration with Seoul Metro, which has infrastructure and customer services that can be utilized as urban logistics spaces, we are able to provide faster and more convenient delivery services,” adding, “We will continue to discover delivery services that are more closely connected to customers’ daily lives.”
