Under the leadership of the newly appointed President Lee\nHak-Jae, Incheon International Airport is setting forth on a renewed path,\ncrafting various strategies to encourage collaborative growth with business\npartners including logistics companies and airlines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Enhancing Customer Convenience through Advanced Infrastructure<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the Incheon International Airport Free Trade Zone\nincludes an airport logistics complex and cargo terminal areas, offering a\ncompetitive environment to clients through efficient customs procedures,\nduty-free benefits, and a range of incentives.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Companies situated in this zone enjoy the freedom to conduct\nmanufacturing, logistics, and trade activities without hindrance, alongside\nperks such as reduced rental fees and deferred customs duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently, the freight terminal houses eight cargo\nbuildings, three air freight warehouses, four specialized processing\nfacilities, and two customs bonded areas, establishing a solid foundation for a\nlogistics hub.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Incheon International Airport is actively\ninvolved in the development of a modern cargo terminal and is pioneering\nautonomous cargo towing technology to enhance its operational efficiency and\nsophistication. This initiative is expected to significantly upgrade the\nlogistics services available to customers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, the airport administration is focusing on\nexpanding transportation options to facilitate customer convenience. Plans are\nunderway to add new transportation methods, including additional bus services,\nto ensure easier access to the logistics complex.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Expanding Collaborative Marketing with Clients<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incheon International Airport is also investing effort in\namplifying the marketing activities of its client companies. Recently, the\nairport partnered with Jeju Air to host a ‘Joint Information Session to Boost\nAir Cargo Volume in the Vietnam Region’. The two-day event, held from May 31 to\nJune 1 in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, targeted logistics stakeholders\nin the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As a vital component of the airport’s ongoing ‘Air Cargo\nIncentive Program’ aimed at increasing air cargo volume, this initiative\nsuccessfully attracted approximately 150 representatives from 61 Vietnamese\nforwarding and logistics firms, receiving an overwhelmingly positive response.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking ahead, Incheon International Airport plans to hold\njoint information sessions with FedEx later this year and initiate online\nmarketing campaigns in collaboration with China Airlines and UPS. Through\ncontinuous discussions, the airport plans to broaden its collaborative\nmarketing efforts with an increasing number of clients in the near future.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Customized Support for Stimulating Growth in New Cargo Sectors<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Incheon International Airport is actively striving to\nenhance cargo volume, with a primary focus on extending substantial support to\nemerging growth sectors in the cargo industry, aiming to significantly increase\nthe overall throughput.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recently, Incheon International Airport achieved a\nworld-first by obtaining CEIV certification in three key growth areas:\nperishable goods, pharmaceuticals, and lithium batteries. This achievement\nunderscores the airport’s commitment to engaging with companies in these\nfields, understanding customer requirements and offering tailored support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the perishable goods sector, the airport is actively\ncollaborating with organizations such as the Korea Agro-Fisheries & Food\nTrade Corporation (aT) and the Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA).\nSimultaneously, in the pharmaceutical sector, it is in discussions with leading\ncompanies such as Celltrion and Samsung Biologics to optimize logistics and\ntransportation processes. Plans are also in the works to initiate a\ncollaboration with the Korea Biomedicine Industry Association (KoBIA).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Collaborating with Leading Global Logistics Companies<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To foster mutual growth with its clients, Incheon\nInternational Airport is enhancing its infrastructure in collaboration with\nprominent global logistics firms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The airport has established a partnership with FedEx, a\nforemost company in air cargo handling, to further develop the air cargo\nlogistics sector. In addition, the airport is intensifying its business\nrelationship with DHL, following the recent expansion of its cargo terminal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Opened in October 2022, the FedEx terminal emerged as a\nlandmark project constructed using the Build-to-Suit (BTS) model and\nsubsequently leased. This significant collaborative project involved\ninvestments of 53.5 billion KRW from Incheon International Airport and 40.5\nbillion KRW from FedEx. This approach entails the construction of the cargo\nterminal by Incheon International Airport, with operations overseen by the\nuser.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DHL has been operating a cargo terminal at Incheon\nInternational Airport since 2007. The recent expansion project amplified the\nfacility’s size from 19,000 m2 to 58,000 m2, significantly increasing the\nhourly express cargo handling capacity from 8,100 to over 20,000 units.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, Incheon International Airport maintains\ncontinuous interactions with global logistics companies, aspiring to achieve\nmutual growth through sustained collaborations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lee Hak-Jae, the President of Incheon International Airport,\nemphasized, “Incheon International Airport will continue its collaborations\nwith international logistics companies to enhance the infrastructure, laying a\nstrong foundation to leap forward as the leading logistics hub in Northeast\nAsia.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
