Air transportation in South Korea - statistics and facts
South Korea's air transport industry is regarded as one of the most efficient industries in the world. Prior to the COVID-19 pandemic, the country's international passenger and air cargo traffic volumes were steadily on the rise. The opening of Incheon International Airport, South Korea's main international airport, in 2001 has played an important role in the global air transportation industry. The airport opened a second passenger terminal in 2018, further increasing its capacity to handle passengers and cargo.
