Incheon Airport Implements Special Lunar New Year Transport Measures... "Please Use Public Transportation"
More Staff and Expanded Amenities
Incheon International Airport Corporation announced on February 12 that it will implement special transportation measures across all areas of airport operations during this Lunar New Year holiday period, in order to maintain safe and convenient airport operations and to ease passenger congestion.
The total number of arriving and departing passengers expected during this Lunar New Year holiday period is about 1.22 million, with an average of 204,000 passengers per day projected to use Incheon Airport during the holidays. The day with the highest total number of passengers and departing passengers is expected to be February 14, and the day with the highest number of arriving passengers is expected to be February 18.
Although more passengers than usual are expected due to the Lunar New Year holiday, congestion during this holiday period is forecast to ease compared with previous holidays, as the relocation of Asiana Airlines to Terminal 2 on January 14 has balanced the passenger distribution ratio between the two terminals at 50:50.

To prevent congestion at the departure halls, Incheon Airport plans to cooperate with the Ministry of Justice to start operations at major departure halls 30 minutes earlier than usual and to operate all available security screening equipment (state-of-the-art CT X-ray) to the fullest extent.
In addition, it will enhance passenger convenience through measures such as deploying additional staff, expanding 24-hour shops, and opening additional passenger convenience facilities.
An Incheon Airport official said, "If passengers arrive at the airport too early in anticipation of Lunar New Year holiday congestion, it can actually worsen congestion at the airport, so arriving just three hours before your flight departs is sufficient," adding, "For convenient use of the airport, we ask passengers to actively use public transportation and smart services."
