ncheon’s evolution continues at a pace with a second passenger terminal and new state-of-the-art cargo complex the key projects of its $4.1 billion third development phase.
Construction of the new $1.4 billion, 350,000sqm passenger complex (Terminal 2) will commence in late 2012 in readiness for a 2015 opening.
The complex, which will initially be designed to accommodate up to 18 million passengers per annum, will be built at the northern end of the airport and linked to Concourse A and the main terminal building by an Automated People Mover (APM) operating in a 1.1 kilometre long underground tunnel.
The APM, called the Intra Airport Transit (IAT) system, currently operates between the main terminal and Concourse A. An additional 648,000sqm of apron will provide 65 aircraft parking positions at T2, which is expected to boast 37-gates and be slightly smaller in size to the existing terminal.

The airport has launched an international contest to select the architect to design the new terminal. Incheon CEO, CW Lee, notes: “We want the new terminal to look beautiful and offer the very best in terms of operating systems and technology. This commitment means that it will take us around two years to fi nalise our design plans.” Terminal 2 will initially raise Incheon’s capacity to 62mppa, but with further expansion in the years ahead could ultimately equip the airport to accommodate in excess of 100mppa.
In addition to T2, Incheon Airport will also invest $2.7 billion on a new cargo and logistics terminal as part of Incheon’s third phase expansion programme. As part of this initiative, the airport will gain an extra 418,000sqm of apron that will allow it to accommodate an additional 21 cargo aircraft.
The cargo upgrade is also expected to lead to the addition of a host of new customised facilities designed
