This training, being implemented for the first time this year, was designed to reduce confusion students may experience when using the airport during group trips such as school excursions. It is conducted based on prior applications from high schools near Gimpo International Airport that are planning school excursions.

The aim is to prevent delays in the boarding process due to carrying prohibited items or failing to bring identification, and to enhance the convenience of group passengers. To do so, students are informed in advance about identification checks and security screening procedures before using the airport.

During the training, employees of Korea Airports Corporation used educational materials they had prepared to cover the types of major prohibited items frequently carried by students, such as utility knives, scissors, and flammable sprays, as well as recently updated procedures for carrying spare batteries.

They also explained which forms of identification are valid for minors, such as student ID cards containing date of birth and certificates of enrollment issued within the last 30 days. The session introduced the mobile pre-registration method for "BioPass," a palm vein authentication service, to help reduce boarding issues caused by not carrying ID.

Korea Airports Corporation plans to expand on-site aviation security education at schools and continue efforts to raise aviation security awareness, starting with this training. Additional sessions are scheduled, including one on May 6 at Daeil Tourism High School in Yangcheon-gu, Seoul.

Jeon Heonbae, acting director of Gimpo International Airport, stated, "We will establish a safe and convenient airport usage culture by conducting school-based aviation security education, so that students preparing for their school excursions can understand and get ready for airport procedures in advance."
