This agreement aims to strengthen the initial response capabilities in the event of emergencies on aircraft and within the airport passenger terminal, as well as to promote the health of airport workers. In the future, the two organizations will also establish a solid cooperation system, including collaboration on social contribution activities.

The two parties plan to identify and implement practical cooperation tasks in stages, such as designating a medical support partner hospital, providing specialized medical training for airport paramedics, and conducting joint volunteer activities. Specifically, the corporation will designate International St. Mary's Hospital as a medical support partner hospital in the airport's emergency plan, and medical staff from International St. Mary's Hospital will regularly provide training for paramedics. International St. Mary's Hospital will also strengthen Incheon Airport's emergency response capabilities through education and consultation based on various clinical cases.

The corporation expects that this agreement will help minimize blind spots in emergency medical care within Incheon Airport and further solidify the public-private cooperation system for initial response to emergencies.

Lee Hakjae, President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, "This agreement is a cooperation model that combines expertise and public interest in emergency medical care, and I believe it will serve as an opportunity to further strengthen Incheon Airport's emergency response capabilities. As a responsible public enterprise that prioritizes the lives and safety of the people, we will continue to strengthen various public collaborations in the field of safety."
