The South Korean government will expand the Gimhae International Airport in the southern port city of Busan as planned and will not consider a new option, including building a new airport in nearby Gadeok Island, officials of the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Transport said.
Under the plan, a 3,200-kilometer runway and a passenger terminal will be added on a 290-square-kilometer land next to Gimhae Airport to meet capacity of 38 million users. Construction estimated at $5.4 billion will be completed by 2026.
