Safe airport with neither obstacles nor limitations on mid and long-distance flights
Minimize environmental damage
Outstanding accessibility and expandability in line with future needs
Capable of resolving the following problems of Gimhae New Airport (plan):
① Short runways and load limitations due to mountainous terrain with difficulty facilitating long distance flights
② Not allowed 24-hour operations due to curfew time (11pm – 6 am)
③ Unable to handle 38 million passengers annually due to the operational nature of the V-shaped runway.
④ Difficulty securing landing precision safety and missed approaches with surface obstacles having been maintained
⑤ Once full capacity is reached (runways, taxiways, etc.) in the future, additional expansion is impossible.
⑥ Noise-stricken areas in Busan and Gimhae will expand with direct impact on the habitats of migratory birds.
⑦ Conflicts with development plans for surrounding areas, such as Eco Delta City and R&D Special Zone
Construction Objectives
Size: Runway (3.5km), passenger and freight terminals, moorings, etc. (project cost: 7.54 trillion KRW)
