Incheon International Airport
Incheon International Airport, International airport in Incheon, South Korea.
Description
Incheon International Airport is an international airport in Incheon, South Korea, built on reclaimed land between Yeongjong and Yongyu Islands. Two large terminals are linked by an automated transit system that moves passengers quickly between the buildings.
History
Construction began in November 1992, and the facility opened on March 29, 2001. This airport then replaced Gimpo as the main hub for international flights serving the Seoul region.
Culture
Both terminals display Korean design through wooden details and traditional patterns that shape the interior atmosphere. Performers present music and dance several times each day in designated areas where travelers can pause and watch these short shows.
Practical
Several transport options connect the airport to central Seoul, including the Airport Railroad Express that covers the distance in roughly 43 minutes. Clear signage and information desks in both terminals help travelers navigate connections and city transport links.
