Korea: Seoul Incheon to increase slots next year
Seoul Incheon International plans to boost inbound tourism by increasing the number of slots come 2020. Incheon is operating at close to capacity and the operator says that this causes restrictions on new and additional flights. At current capacity, it can handle 65 operations per hour and plans to increase this to 70 per hour will allow for additional 16,000 flights each year. Further to that, the airport is offering a US$50,000 subsidy on marketing expenses for launching trial flights, and up to $860,000 on strategic routes with high inbound traffic and transit passengers. The cargo sector, which was adversely impacted by US-China trade issues, will benefit from reductions in landing and parking fees. <br/>
