Incheon International Airport (ICN), which has seen a year-on-year increase of 15% in passenger volume in the first quarter of 2010, is offering a new incentive program for airlines to lure new services to the airport.
Effective from March 28, the updated program sets different levels of incentives including discounts on landing fees and office rental fees. Any new airlines initiating its flight service to ICN will receive one-year waiver of landing fees as well as 50% discount on official rental fees for the first one year. The program also includes a waiver of landing fees for the regular scheduled services to new destinations, 50% discount on landing fees to the increased frequency, and 25% to scheduled flights at night. Lasting for the next one year, the program is expected to benefit both new and existing airlines by lowering costs, and thus encourages airlines to bring more air services to ICN. Incheon International Airport will continue to develop further incentive programs, which will be beneficial to both airlines and ICN.
