There are eight international airports in Korea and, among them, visitors from abroad are likely already familiar with Incheon International Airport, which its excellence as a global airport has been well-recognized, and Jeju International Airport, where the beautiful landscape of Jeju Island can be enjoyed. In particular, Jeju International Airport gained notability in 2010 for its distinction as the “No. 1 busiest route in the world selected by OAG.” Smaller airports including those in Daegu, Muan, and Yangyang have limited routes and few convenience facilities such as duty free shops but, thanks to the simple boarding procedure and quiet atmosphere, more and more passengers are using these airports.
