Incheon International Airport

Incheon International Airport is the primary international gateway to South Korea and the hub for Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. ICN handles around 53 million passengers per year and sits about 30 miles west of central Seoul on Yeongjong Island. The airport opened in 2001 to replace Seoul Gimpo Airport as the primary international airport, though GMP still handles domestic flights and some short-haul international services. ICN is widely regarded as one of the best airports in the world, consistently ranking in the top five in passenger surveys. The airport is a major transit hub for flights between North America and Asia, with Korean Air operating extensive transpacific services. The airport has two main terminals (T1 and T2) plus Concourse A, connected by a train. Incheon is known for its efficient operations, generous passenger amenities including cultural performances, and aggressive expansion plans. The airport has been consistently adding capacity and is a core part of South Korea's tourism and trade strategy.
