South Korea’s air travel sector saw a marked recovery in 2024. According to MOLIT, the number of air passengers rose by 19.5% year-on-year, reaching over 120 million—amounting to 97.3% of the peak figure of 123.36 million recorded in 2019. In line with this resurgence, the fleet size of South Korean airlines hit a record 416 aircraft by the end of 2024, surpassing the previous high of 414 set in 2019. Further growth is anticipated in 2025, with domestic airlines planning to introduce 54 new aircraft while phasing out 38 older models.

 

In 2024, Incheon International Airport achieved its highest position since its 2001 opening, ranking third globally in international passenger traffic. It has completed the transformative fourth-phase facility expansion in Oct. 2024, establishing itself as a megahub airport capable of accommodating over 100 million passengers annually.
