The corporation stated, "During this Lunar New Year holiday, Incheon Airport handled an average of 231,000 passengers per day, the highest among all previous peak seasons, yet we were able to provide stable airport services to the public, no different from normal operations, by implementing special joint measures with related agencies."

The corporation analyzed that Asiana Airlines' relocation from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 in January helped alleviate congestion at the departure halls.

It also explained that special measures such as early opening of departure halls and the deployment of dedicated guidance staff improved passenger convenience.

Lee Hakjae, President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, "This Lunar New Year holiday was the first peak season since Asiana Airlines relocated, and the passenger distribution between the two departure halls was balanced at a 50:50 ratio, which eased congestion at departures," adding, "Based on the operational performance during the Lunar New Year holiday, we will continue to strive to provide safer and more convenient airport services to the public."
