Democratic Party Gyeongbuk Provincial Committee: "TK New Airport Cargo Terminal Should Be Located in Uiseong"

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea issued a statement on the 13th, asserting that "the Daegu-Gyeongbuk New Airport cargo terminal should be located in Uiseong-gun." On the 24th of last month, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced the results of a preliminary feasibility study for relocating the Daegu private airport, which included placing the integrated new airport cargo terminal in Gunwi-gun.

In response, as if to echo this, the Daegu city government declared on the 4th that "the cargo terminal, an airport facility, should be in Gunwi-gun, and the air logistics complex should be concentrated in Uiseong-gun as a basic principle of joint agreement," and on the 5th announced the ‘Uiseong Air Logistics Complex Development Plan’ excluding the cargo terminal.

The joint agreement made in July 2020 explicitly stated that "an air logistics and aircraft maintenance industrial complex and related industry and logistics worker residential complex will be established in Uiseong-gun," so the residents of Uiseong naturally believed that the cargo terminal would be located in the direction of Uiseong, but the study results were different.

Cargo that has completed self-clearance at the airport cargo terminal goes directly to the apron. If the plan proceeds according to the study results, the Uiseong logistics complex and the Gunwi cargo terminal will be about 5 km apart, raising concerns that this will negatively affect not only the activation of the logistics complex but also the economic efficiency and promptness of cargo handling.

On the 31st of last month, Lee Cheol-woo, Governor of Gyeongbuk Province, said, "We are currently drawing up the big picture for airport-related logistics, and Gyeongbuk Province will take the lead to ensure that Uiseong does not suffer losses."

The Gyeongbuk Provincial Party Committee of the Democratic Party of Korea hopes that Gyeongbuk Province, which had been inactive until the Daegu city government announced the ‘Uiseong Air Logistics Complex’ development plan, will promptly present to the residents what the ‘big picture’ it is drawing is, and urges that the cargo terminal be placed in Uiseong-gun as originally agreed in the joint agreement.
