Korea: Incheon Airport aims to attract 110 carriers by 2020
Incheon International aims to have 110 airlines operating from it by 2020, with more than 10m transfer passengers, making the airport Asia's top air hub. Incheon International said Monday that to reach that goal, it would seek to open berths for airlines flying to China, Italy, France and Iran, which have a growing number of travellers wanting to visit Korea. Aiming to have 66m passengers by 2020 from the 49m now, the corporation will expand the number of carriers operating in and out of Incheon from 90 in 2015 to 110. Since the airport opened in 2001, the number of transit passengers has been rising at an average 6.4% a year until 2013. But the figure declined from 7.71m in 2013 to 7.25m in 2014 because of more direct flights operated by LCCs. <br/>
