The gateway to the East Asian country has been expanded.
This December, South Korea’s main airport in Incheon has opened the final phase of its second terminal building.
Originally opened in 2018, new additions include the Art Project spanning 18 pavillions, which gives a blend of art and culture inside the airport.
Aside from that, a zone dedicated for the department store brand Shinsegae offers shopping options for passengers, encompassing food, fashion, and beauty.
The Incheon Airport opened in 2001 and took over the role of being the main international airport for the town and neighboring capital city of Seoul from the Gimpo Airport.
In 2019, prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, more than 70 million passengers passed through its terminals — as reflected in its position as the ninth busiest airport by passenger traffic in Asia.
With the latest extension, Incheon is now primed to welcome over 100 million by the year 2031.
