Songshan-Gimpo direct flights could begin late '11

The direct flights to Gimpo would be part of a government plan to turn Songshan Airport into a Northeast Asia “gold hub.”

Songshan Airport launched direct flights with Shanghai's Hongqiao Airport in June and will open direct flights to Tokyo's Haneda Airport in October.

“Songshan Airport is now being renovated and the work will not be completed until next October, by which time it will be able to accommodate other flight routes,” Yin said.

According to the CAA plan, after the renovations are complete, the number of flights to Hongqiao Airport could be increased to six per day, up from the current four, while flights to Haneda will be maintained at the planned eight flights daily.

Two to four daily flights are being planned for Gimpo, the CAA said.
