Partial Network Glitch at Incheon Airport Causes Passenger Processing Delays

A partial network glitch has occurred at Incheon International Airport, causing disruptions to departure processing procedures.

According to Incheon International Airport Corporation and other sources on October 30, a network disruption affecting airline ticketing systems began at 4:30 a.m. on the same day.

As a result, intermittent communication dropouts have reportedly continued across eight airlines at Terminal 1 and five airlines at Terminal 2.

With ticketing operations delayed, passengers preparing for departure are experiencing inconveniences at various airline check-in counters.

The corporation believes the disruption was caused by instability in the global network of Aeronautical Radio Incorporated (ARINC), which is used by airlines, and is reviewing measures to address the situation.

An official from Incheon International Airport Corporation stated, "We understand that no flight delays have occurred thus far due to the ARINC glitch," adding, "We plan to check the on-site situation."
