Incheon is the hub for Korean Air and Asiana Airlines. The airport opened for business in early 2001, replacing the international function of Gimpo Airport (formerly Kimpo International Airport), which now mainly serves domestic traffic. It serves as a hub for international civilian air transportation and cargo traffic. Security facilities are state-of-the-art and medical inspection equipment is also very advanced, in response to terrorist threats and various epidemics in southern Asia. As a result, Incheon International Airport is considered Asia's most technologically facilitated airport. It is also currently Asia's sixth busiest airport, behind Tokyo International Airport (a.k.a. Haneda Airport) (Tokyo), Singapore Changi Airport (Singapore), Bangkok International Airport (Bangkok), Narita International Airport (Tokyo) and Hong Kong International Airport (Hong Kong).
Incheon International Airport is located west of Seoul, on Yeongjong Island in the Yellow Sea. (Yeongjong Island is part of the City of Incheon.) It is connected to the mainland by Freeway 130, a part of which is Yeongjong Bridge, and is served by frequent bus service from all parts of South Korea as well as by ferry service from Incheon and other nearby ports. Airport limousines operate around the clock from Seoul to Incheon, and several backup highway buses escort people from places within and outside Seoul. In addition, a highway between Incheon and Gimpo Airport was recently completed, connecting domestic flight service with international air traffic, an advantage that makes it far easier to travel from southern Korean regions to Incheon, and then to airports all over the globe. A rail link to Gimpo Airport and Seoul is being built.
Was awarded the "Best in Service Award in Class" by the 1st International Conference on Aiport Quality and Service by the IATA and the ACI, and ranking second in "Best Aiport Worldwide", following Hong Kong International Airport, and followed by Singapore International Airport.
