The corporation expects to reach 10 million international passengers by the end of this month, and in December, the demand for air travel is projected to gradually recover to about 88% compared to the same month in 2019. Accordingly, a special safety message from the CEO was announced, and a nationwide airport detailed safety inspection will be conducted early.

Special safety inspections will also be carried out on major airport facilities. A separate budget of 1.5 billion KRW will be invested, and the inspections will be conducted by external experts. Airports with high passenger volumes such as Gimpo and Gimhae Airports will conduct inspections by the end of this year, one year ahead of the original plan. For seven facilities including Cheongju Airport passenger terminal, scheduled for the second half of next year, inspections will be completed in the first half of the year.
