 There might be people wondering what the fourth - stage construction really means . 
 You might say it is new or difficult to understand when hearing the work ‘ construction business ’ or ‘ groundbreaking ceremony . ’ 
 I would think of Incheon airport ’ s construction the same as expanding your house . The larger you get your house expanded by relocating extra spaces and extending them , the more guests you will be able to invite them over . We ’ re trying to use that same concept to have more visitors coming to the airport with our full wishes for more people to freely come and enjoy Incheon airport . 
 One quick question ! How many visitors do Incheon airport has every year ? 
 Incheon airport reported 14 . 28 million visitors on the first year of opening and increased by 20 million within 10 years . Reports were showing a drastic increase as the visitors almost increased by 30 million last year . 
 So , getting into the airport ’ s fourth - stage construction with more for space holding bigger capacity considering these numbers is not a surprise anymore , right ? 
 The fourth - stage construction details include : 
 1 > Extend Terminal 2 > Build Runway 4 3 > Expand traffic network 
 60 , 000 jobs and 13 trillion economic boosts were created during this fourth - stage construction which also played a role in vitalizing the country ’ s economy . 
 The most eye - catching keyword from today ’ s groundbreaking ceremony was ‘ World ’ s Top 3 airports . ’ 
 You ’ re able to see Incheon airport ’ s vision striving to be one of the world ’ s top 3 airports in international flight passenger capacity and airport capacity . And it ’ s amazing to see that dream - come - true , isn ’ t it ? 
 Then , what would Incheon Airport look like after this fourth - stage construction is over ? For this time , Incheon airports announced their 5 future goals they ’ re looking into for transformation . 
 The first goal is to jump into be one of the world ’ s top 3 airports followed by Dubai and Istandbul for holding capacity of 1 hundred million visitors at average every year . 
 Second , to conduct an economic cycle around Incheon airport with different areas of industries like business / R & D , tourism / distribution , high - tech , and MRO ( Maintenance , Repair , and Operating ) . 
 Third goal is to create a ‘ smart operational system ’ that grafts high - tech technology such as 5 G , biometrics , AI ( Artificial Intelligence ) , and loT to guarantee the visitors ’ convenience . 
 Fourth to build an eco - friendly ‘ Green Art ’ airport filled a park and garden where cultural performances and art work are held . 
 Last but not least , the fifth goal is to maintain the airport with flawless operation considering the construction and ground workers ’ often in the blind spot . 
 When the fourth - stage construction finally comes to an end , Terminal 2 will come to look like two of the legendary bird , oriental phoenixes facing at each other . Just imagining terminal of two phoenixes soaring up to the sky to guard the East Asian sky gives me butterflies ! 
 We would love your attention and support until the construction is completed in 2023 !
