This airport opened for business on 29 March 2001, to replace the olderGimpo International Airport,which now serves mostly domestic destinations and shuttle flights to several East Asian metropolitan areas, includingBeijing–Capital,Hong Kong,Kaohsiung,Osaka–Kansai,Shanghai–Hongqiao,Taipei–TaoyuanandTokyo–Haneda.

Incheon International Airport is located west ofIncheon's city center, on an artificially created piece of land betweenYeongjongand Yongyu Islands. A shallow sea originally separated the two islands. That area between the two islands wasreclaimedfor the construction project, effectively connecting the once-separate Yeongjong and Yongyu islands. The reclaimed area and the two islands are all part of Jung-gu, an administrative district of Incheon. The airport has 111 boarding gates altogether, with 44 in Terminal 1, 30 in Concourse A (connected to Terminal 1), and 37 in Terminal 2.[6]

This airport was constructed to share the demand for air transport in the 21st century and to serve as a hub airport in Northeast Asia.[7]

History

edit
Location of Incheon International Airport on reclaimed land joiningYeongjongand Yongyu Islands

International air traffic to South Korea increased after the1988 Summer Olympics.In the 1990s, it became apparent thatGimpo International Airportcould not cope with the increased air traffic. The government decided to build a new international airport to reduce the load on Gimpo International Airport.

The new airport was originally planned to be located inCheongju,124 km (77 mi) southeast of Seoul, but due to its distance, it was opposed by Seoul and Gyeonggi citizens.[citation needed]Hwaseong,the other choice, was also rejected due to similar reasons. Finally, the area chosen wasIncheon.[when?]

In November 1992, the construction of the Incheon airport began on reclaimed land between Yeongjong Island and Youngyu Island. It took eight years to finish, with an additional six months for testing. Completion was initially scheduled for 1997 but delayed due tothe Asian economic crisis.[8]The airport was officially opened on 21 March 2001.[citation needed]

On 15 November 2006, anAirbus A380landed at the airport as part of the first leg of its certification trip.[9]Tests on the runways, taxiways, and ramps showed that the airport could handle the aircraft.

To further upgrade service, Incheon and major Korean logistics firmHanjin Group(parent company ofKorean Air) agreed on 10 January 2008, to build Yeongjong Medical Centre, which was completed in 2012. This hospital serves nearby residents and some 30,000medical touristswho come to Korea annually.[10]

Statistics

edit

Located 48 km (30 mi) west ofSeoul,the capital and the largest city of South Korea, Incheon International Airport is the main hub forKorean Air,Asiana Airlines,Jeju Air,andPolar Air Cargo.The airport is a hub for international civilian air transportation and cargo traffic in East Asia. In 2016, the Incheon International Airport was the fifth-busiestairportin the world andthird in Asiaby cargo traffic, and19thin the world andeighth in Asiaby passenger traffic. In 2016, the airport served a total of 57,849,814 passengers.

The airport opened for business in early 2001 to replace the older Gimpo International Airport, which now serves mostly domestic destinations plus shuttle flights toBeijing–Capital,Osaka–Kansai,Shanghai–Hongqiao,Taipei–SongshanandTokyo–Hanedaalthough flights to Beijing and Osaka also operate from Incheon Airport.

Construction phases

edit
Airport layout

The airport was originally planned to be built in three phases, incrementally increasing airport capacity as the demand grew. This was changed, however, to four phases after the airport was opened.

Phase 1

edit

In Phase 1, the airport had a capacity of 30 million passengers annually, and a cargo capacity of 1,700,000 tonnes (1,673,151 long tons; 1,873,929 short tons) annually.[citation needed]In this phase, a passenger terminal with a floor space of 496,000 square metres (5,338,900 sq ft), two parallel runways, a control tower, an administrative building, a transportation centre (the Integrated Transportation Centre, designed byTerry Farrell and PartnersandSamoo Architects & Engineers), an integrated operations centre, three cargo terminals, international business centre, and a government office building were constructed.[citation needed]

Phase 2

edit

Phase 2 construction began in 2002, and was originally expected to be completed in December 2008. However, in an attempt to have the airport ready for the2008 Beijing Olympics,which took place in August 2008, the schedule was modified, and Phase 2 construction was completed on 20 June 2008. During this construction phase, a third parallel 4,000-metre-long (13,123 ft 4 in) runway and a 13-hectare (32.1-acre) cargo terminal area was added. A 16.5-hectare (40.8-acre) concourse connected to the main passenger building via two parallel 870-metre-long (2,854 ft 4 in) underground passageways were added, with aMitsubishi Crystal Movershuttle trainAPMshuttling passengers between the concourse and the main terminal.[11]

Many long-distance foreign carriers were moved to the new concourse, with Korean Air and Asiana Airlines continuing to use the existing terminal.[citation needed]

Phase 3

edit

TheSouth Korean governmentinvested₩4 trillion until 2017 to expand Incheon International Airport. The second passenger terminal was constructed in the northern field of the airport, and its existing cargo terminal and other infrastructures were expanded. The terminals are connected by the underground "Starline" train. Also, a Landside Connecting system (Bus shuttle) is used for airport employees and departing passengers who don't come to the right terminal. After completion, Incheon International Airport can handle 62 million passengers and 5,800,000 tonnes (5,708,398 long tons; 6,393,406 short tons) of cargo a year, up from the previous capacity of 44 million passengers and 4,500,000 tonnes (4,428,929 long tons; 4,960,401 short tons). Construction began in 2011 and was completed in 2017. The terminal opened on 18 January 2018. Incheon's expansion also includes adding more aprons to park planes and extending a railway line to the city center of Seoul about 70 kilometres (43 mi) away from the airport. The airport also signed an agreement to build a resort called "Inspire" which includes 6-star hotels, theme parks, and a casino.[12]

Phase 4

edit

Between 2017 and 2024, a fourth construction phase at the airport is taking place. There will be an expansion of Terminal 2, the building of a fourth runway and additional apron and car parking facilities.[13]Following completion of the works, it is expected that the hourly flight capacity of the airport will increase from 90 to 107.[14]

There are long-term plans for a fifth runway and a third terminal.[15]

Terminals

Terminal 1 (Incheon T1)

edit
Aerial view of Incheon International Airport Terminal 1

Terminal 1 (measuring 496,000 square metres (5,338,900 sq ft)) is the largestairport terminalby area in South Korea. Terminal 1 was designed byCurtis W. Fentress,FAIA, RIBA ofFentress Architects.It is 1,060 metres (3,480 ft) long, 149 metres (489 ft) wide, and 33 metres (108 ft) high. Its construction cost was 5.632 trillion South Korean Won.[16]The terminal has 44 boarding ports (all of which can accommodate the Airbus A380), 50 customs inspection ports, 2 biological quarantine counters, 6 stationary and 14 portable passenger quarantine counters, 120 arrival passport inspection counters, 8 arrival security ports, 28 departure security ports, 252 check-in counters, and 120 departure passport inspection counters. In 2015, an automatic check-in counter lane was introduced, which people travelling viaKorean Air,Asiana AirlinesandChina Southern Airlinescan use. Instead of having airport staff at the counter, there is a machine where travellers input their flight information, scan their passports, receive their flight tickets and lastly, load the luggage onto the conveyor. This system was planned to be introduced in Terminal 2, but in May 2015 Incheon Airport used one of the counter islands for the unmanned luggage handling system.[17]

In December 2023, aOneworld-branded and operated lounge opened in Incheon Airport Terminal 1 to serve passengers flying on seven of the alliance's 13 member carriers who serve the airport:American Airlines,Cathay Pacific,Finnair,Malaysia Airlines,Qantas,Qatar Airways,andSriLankan Airlines.[18]It is the first in a series of planned lounges under development by the alliance.[19]

Accidents and incidents

edit

On 16 June 2011, anAirbus A321-200,operating asAsiana Airlinesflight 324 betweenChengdu Shuangliu International Airport,China and Incheon International Airport, was fired upon by two soldiers of theRepublic of Korea Marine Corpsas it came in to land at Incheon. A total of 99 rounds were discharged at the aircraft, which was out of range and made a safe landing without sustaining any damage. The soldiers had misidentified the aircraft as belonging to the North Korean military and were acting on orders that permitted them to engage without reference to senior officers, following theBombardment of Yeonpyeongin November 2010.[199]

Ground transport

Bus

edit

Airport shuttle buses transport passengers between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Buses are free, arrive every 5 to 8 minutes, take approximately 20 minutes of travel time, and stop at the Hyatt Hotel or airport fire station en route, depending on direction.

Airport buses are called limousine buses. Standard limousine buses travel to Gimpo Airport &Songjeong station.

Intercity buses connect with other towns and cities in Korea.

TheCity Air Logistics & Transportationcompany runs an airport bus line directly connected to the bus station atCOEX,Gangnam.[200]

Rail

edit

TheAirport Railroad Express(AREX and styled as A'REX) has two stations located in both the Transport Centre adjacent to the Terminal 1 building (Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 station) and is in the basement of Terminal 2 (Incheon International Airport Terminal 2 station). It provides service toGimpo International Airportand Seoul. Many of the stations along the line provide connections toIncheon Subway,Seoul Metropolitan Subway,andIncheon Airport Maglev.

For departing passengers,Seoul Station City Airport Terminaloffersin-town early check-inservice and has related immigration services before arriving at the airport. AfterCALTclosed its in-town check-in operation at Gangnam in 2023, the Seoul Station City Airport Terminal is the only available place in Seoul where in-town check-in service is provided.[201]

TheKorea Train eXpress (KTX)operated at the same station as AREX but used a different platform. It operated 20 times per day from the airport; twelve times on theGyeonbu Line,twice on theGyeonjeon Line,four times on theHonam Line,and twice on theJeolla Line.The service started in 2014 but was suspended in March 2018 due to low ridership.[202]The suspension became permanent in September 2018 as the line was officially closed.[203][204]

TheIncheon Airport Maglevopened on 3 February 2016, and closed on 1 September 2023.[205]The first phase was to be 6.1 km long, spread over six stations (but eight stations were built, spanning more than 8 km), taking riders from the airport toward the southwest of the island where a water park is located. Phase 2 was to be 9.7 km long, extending the line to the northwest of the island. Phase 3 would have added 37.4 km, transforming the line into a circle.[206][207][208]After converting the tracks from Maglev to orbital tram tracks,[209]service is expected to resume from March 2024.[210]

Ferry

edit

A ferry service connects Yeongjong-do to the mainland. However, the dock is located a considerable distance from the airport. An alternative means of transport must be sought upon arriving at the island to be able to get to the airport.[211]

Car
