Airports Corp. denies Assembly's request for Muan Airport localizer data

The Korea Airports Corp. (KAC) has refused to disclose its design documents related to the modernization of the localizer facility at Muan International Airport, despite a formal request from lawmakers on the National Assembly's Land Infrastructure and Transport Committee. The documents, believed to include safety assessments conducted by design firms, were withheld entirely, drawing criticism for lack of transparency. According to the National Assembly on Tuesday, Rep. Lee Yeon-hee of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea requested comprehensive design documents from the KAC regarding the localizer improvement project. The documents contain crucial information, such as optimal installation locations and measures to ensure the localizer's breakability. The controversial mound supporting the localizer existed when the airport opened, but a concrete slab was added during last year’s renovations. The requested documents included 15 items, such as the final design report, antenna design, structural and safety assessment results, stakeholder feedback and progress reports.<br/>
