On October 28, Incheon Airport Customs held the "2026 Fourth-Quarter Strategy Meeting for the On-Site Campaign to Combat Drug Trafficking" at Terminal 1 of Incheon International Airport.

The meeting was attended by department heads from 14 departments, including General Imports, Express Cargo and Postal Services, Traveler Clearance, and Narcotics Investigation. Participants shared updates on drug enforcement efforts along different smuggling routes and major cases, and discussed effective enforcement measures through interdepartmental cooperation.

In particular, they analyzed trends in increasingly sophisticated drug-concealment methods and focused on reviewing response measures.

Kim Jung, chief of Incheon Airport Customs, emphasized, "As drug-smuggling methods grow increasingly sophisticated to evade customs surveillance, we must remain vigilant even in familiar, ordinary situations and conduct inspections creatively and proactively."

He added, "Please strengthen your operational response capabilities by repeatedly conducting realistic mock drills that simulate a variety of smuggling scenarios."
