Incheon has increased its hourly slot capacity from 78 to 80. The expansion of Terminal 2, the full operation of a fourth runway and upgraded security checkpoints have all boosted the airport\u2019s aircraft-handling capabilities.<\/p>\n<p>When it opened in 2001 with 38 hourly slots, Incheon began steadily expanding capacity; at 80 slots per hour it now ranks eighth among global airports. The corporation estimates the extra capacity could enable roughly 10,220 additional flights a year and add about 2.38 million seats.<\/p>\n<p>Priority for the expanded slots will go to strengthening domestic connections \u2014 including resuming Incheon\u2013Jeju service and increasing flights between Incheon and Gimhae. The airport also plans to adjust connections on major transfer corridors, such as Southeast Asia\u2013U.S. routes, to make transfers smoother and more efficient.<\/p>\n<p>Lee Sang-yong, head of New Business at Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, \u201cEighty movements per hour means an aircraft takes off or lands every 45 seconds. We\u2019ll operate the expanded slots efficiently to help accelerate reaching 30 million international visitors. And to prepare for a prolonged conflict in the Middle East, we will actively allocate slots to cargo flights to stabilize air logistics.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incheon International Airport expects a 9.1% increase in daily flights this summer due to expanded slots and improved
