Gadeokdo New Airport development in Busan

Overview

Efforts regarding the development of the Gadeokdo New Airport in Busan have transitioned from naming disputes to large-scale urban planning.

Initially, a coalition of citizen groups and city council members advocated for renaming the facility ‘Busan International Airport’ to bolster the city’s brand and competitiveness, citing historical precedents.

Subsequently, Busan Metropolitan City moved forward with administrative procedures to establish an ‘Airport Complex City’ around the airport. This initiative includes plans to designate the area as a Free Economic Zone and conduct environmental impact assessments to create an industrial and residential hub featuring eco-friendly urban infrastructure. The city aims to finalize these development plans by 2027.
