The award-winning Incheon International Airport will be opening its second terminal in October to handle an additional 18 million travelers. The modern terminal will be energy efficient and eco-friendly, and shaped like an H, representing harmony and working together.
The second terminal will offer KTX (the Korean bullet train) and subway service for quick access to city center. High-tech body scanners will shorten scanning time and aid passenger flow. Terminal 2 will also be ready for the increased traffic in time for the Pyeongchang Winter Olympics in 2018.
The average cab fare from Incheon International Airport to the city center is about $70, but with the subway and KTX options. Passengers will be able to travel to the city center for less than half the cab fare, plus travel time will be well less than an hour, even during peak traffic time. Also, travelers will have an option to head to other parts of South Korea, even Pusan, from Terminal 2 via KTX.
