▲ Status of Incheon Airport Drone Flight Restriction Zones
The Incheon International Airport Corporation held a joint public-private-military campaign to prevent illegal drone damage around Incheon International Airport during the summer vacation season.
Under relevant laws, the area within a 9.3-kilometer radius of Incheon Airport, which falls under the airport control zone, is designated as a drone flight restriction zone.
Eulwangni, Wangsan, and Hanagae beaches, which draw crowds of vacationers during the summer, as well as Seonnyebawi Beach and Silmi Amusement Park, are all included in the restriction zone.
Flying a drone in the restriction zone without approval from the regional aviation administration can result in a fine of up to 5 million won under the Aviation Safety Act.
As of this year, a total of two cases of illegal drones spotted within the Incheon Airport control zone have been recorded.
Having introduced a drone detection system in September 2020, the Incheon International Airport Corporation has been operating an elderly surveillance team since this year in cooperation with the Korea Senior Human Resources Development Institute.
