Incheon International Airport ICN - simply referred to as 'IIA' - is located west of Incheon, on reclaimed land between the north-west islands of Yeongjiong & Yongyu, South Korea, and is 43 miles from its capital city of Seoul, on the Korean Peninsula.  It is accessible via Incheon Expressway 130, which includes the Yeongjong Bridge. The Airport, opened in 2001, is hub to Korean Air & Asiana Airlines.  Skytrax has given Incheon International a full 5-star ranking (only Hong Kong International & Singapore Changi airports share this 5-star ranking).  With three very long runways and an estimated 32 million passengers a year (5 million are transfer passengers), Incheon International is served by a host of domestic and international airlines offering direct or connecting flights to all parts of the world. A major part of IIA's air traffic is derived from the international sector.

A new pedestrian overpass now connects IIAC Airport with the International Business Center, a city by itself facing the parking lots, with hotels (Hyatt & Best Western), multi-level office & retail buildings (WorldGate, SkyWorld, LG Eclat, O'Ville, & Airport Royal Plaza), a golf practice range (Incheon Golf Club), the Global Medical Center (planned to open in 2012), and an ING car wash.

Presently, Incheon International has only one huge passenger terminal with levels B1, 2F, 3F & 4F, referred to as the 'Main Terminal', which also houses three gateways with 44 domestic gates, and has a separate Concourse A, reached by shuttle train from B1, with levels B1, 2F & 3F, handling all international flights with 30 gates and 5 airline lounges. The Pine Tree Garden in the Millennium Hall, on the first floor of the main Terminal, offers a respite for weary travelers with pine trees, quiet ponds and beautiful flora. Five other smaller gardens are disbursed within the terminal. Incheon Airport offers a host of services and amenities: Banking & currency exchange, internet services, business lounges, Food court, duty-free and department store shops, business lounges, mobile phone, postal, courier, hair & beauty, laundry, sauna/spa, nursery & children's playroom, smoking room, car wash, medical services, an eye-care center and pharmacies.
