Korea: Incheon airport to handle 70 flights hourly
Starting next year, the number of flights Incheon International handles per hour will increase from 65 to 70, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport announced, Thursday. In order to expand operation capacity, the govt will offer incentives such as allocating slots and traffic rights preferentially to airlines attracting more inbound tourists especially from regional airports between China and Korea. "The measure is to improve the structure of the aviation industry, which has become vulnerable to various factors from abroad while the overall industry is aggravated by the Boycott Japan movement, the trade dispute between the US and China, and troubled aircraft from Boeing," stated an alliterative ministry official. The ministry expects the number of annual flights will increase to 16,000. <br/>
