Gyeonggi Province to Launch Late-Night Airport Bus from Paju and Goyang to Incheon Airport on April 30

Gyeonggi Province has introduced a new late-night airport bus route to improve transportation convenience for residents using Incheon International Airport during late hours. Starting from 10:00 p.m. on April 30, the new route will travel from Paju, passing through Goyang, and head to Incheon International Airport.

The new route will begin at Geumchon Station in Paju, stop at five bus stops in the Paju area and seven stops in Goyang, and continue to Incheon International Airport. The first airport-bound bus will depart at 10:00 p.m. on April 30, and the late-night service will operate round trips twice nightly.

This new route is a response to the recent sharp increase in late-night travelers, following the activation of 24-hour operations at Incheon International Airport.

In fact, the number of passengers using existing late-night airport bus routes departing from eight cities in the province reached approximately 113,000 in 2025, up about 13% from around 100,000 in 2024. However, in northern Gyeonggi areas such as Paju and Goyang, late-night airport buses remained insufficient, forcing travelers with early morning flights to either take expensive taxis or arrive at the airport the night before and spend the night there, resulting in inconvenience.

Gyeonggi Province, after consultations with the airport corporation, succeeded in establishing this new route to serve the northern region where public transportation is lacking. In case of operating losses, the two organizations will share financial support equally, with a 50-50 split, ensuring stable and sustainable service.

With the opening of this new route, the number of late-night airport bus routes in Gyeonggi Province has increased from nine to ten.
