The corporation announced on the 5th that it held the “Incheon Airport Ice Day on the Go” event for two days, from the 4th to the 5th.

This event was organized for aviation logistics workers on the front lines during the heatwave. The corporation deployed coffee trucks capable of serving cold beverages at 18 locations within the Incheon Airport cargo terminal and logistics complexes, providing approximately 10,000 drinks to on-site workers. These complexes house around 800 airlines and logistics companies, responsible for handling key air cargo such as semiconductors.

On the 4th, Kim Beomho, Acting President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, along with the executive team, visited the cargo terminal to personally offer beverages to workers and inspect heatwave countermeasures and facilities. Additionally, a field meeting took place to gather suggestions for strengthening cargo competitiveness and improving the work environment.

The corporation is continually expanding support policies for on-site workers. By constructing a new support building in the cargo terminal, it has created larger rest areas, and is maintaining communication with the field through events like film festivals in which workers’ families can participate.

Kim Beomho, Acting President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, stated, “I express my gratitude to the aviation logistics workers who are on the front lines of the nation’s exports even in this intense heat. Going forward, we will further strengthen communication with tenant companies and expand a variety of support policies to keep enhancing the logistics competitiveness of Incheon Airport, the nation’s export gateway.”

Last year, Incheon Airport handled approximately 2.95 million tons of international cargo, ranking third worldwide according to Airports Council International (ACI). In particular, it plays a key role in the national economy by reliably processing 99% of Korea’s semiconductor exports.
