韓國一機場3個月無旅客成鬼機場
中廣 更新日期:"2009/02/10 11:05"

受旅遊業低迷影響，韓國一個有7年歷史的機場過去3個月以來沒有一架飛機在那裏起降，也沒有接待過一名旅客，被當地媒體稱為(鬼機場)。

法新社報導，位於韓國東部海岸的(襄陽)國際機場是韓國政府為振興地方旅遊斥資3567億韓元(約88億台幣)建造的，由韓國機場公司經營。

這家國有公司說，襄陽國際機場去年11月1號處理了最後一架飛機起降事務後，迄今就再沒有接待過一名旅客。(朝鮮日報)將這座機場稱為(鬼機場)。

據報導，襄陽國際機場過去3年連續虧損，每年虧損超過100億韓元(約2億5000萬台幣)。機場的146名員工去年平均每天僅接待26名旅客。

韓國機場公司同時預計，去年全韓14個機場中有11個出現運營虧損，還有幾個機場的建設因資金不足而被擱置。

No passengers for 3 mths

SEOUL - A US$260 million (S$390 million) South Korean airport has become a 'ghost airport' with not a single passenger in the past three months, officials and a news report said on Monday.

Yangyang International Airport on the east coast handled its last flight on Nov 1, the Korea Airport Corporation said.

The state firm admitted that last year 146 airport staff served only a daily average of 26 passengers at the seven-year-old airport.

The airport, built with a government budget of 356.7 billion won (S$390 million) to promote regional tourism, has posted a deficit of more than 10 billion won each year for three consecutive years, it said.

The corporation estimated that 11 out of 14 local airports around the country posted a deficit last year.

The conservative Chosun Ilbo newspaper on Monday termed Yangyang a 'ghost airport'. It blamed 'incompetent planning and administration' by previous liberal governments and said the airports should either be shut down or privatised.

Korea Airport Corporation spokesman Park Soon-Cheon told AFP construction had been suspended at two other airport projects, Uljin in the south-eastern province of North Gyeongsang and Gimje in the south-western province of North Jeolla.

Authorities are considering turning Uljin, which is 85 per cent completed at a cost of US$141 million, into a pilot training centre, he added. -- AFP

A $382 million South Korean airport has become a "ghost airport" with not a single passenger in the past three months, officials and a news report said Monday.

Yangyang International Airport on the east coast handled its last flight on November 1, the Korea Airport Corporation said.

The state firm admitted that last year 146 airport staff served only a daily average of 26 passengers at the seven-year-old airport.

The airport, built with a government budget of 356.7 billion won (A$382 million) to promote regional tourism, has posted a deficit of more than 10 billion won each year for three consecutive years, it said.

The corporation estimated that 11 out of 14 local airports around the country posted a deficit last year.

The conservative Chosun Ilbo newspaper on Monday termed Yangyang a "ghost airport."

It blamed "incompetent planning and administration" by previous liberal governments and said the airports should either be shut down or privatised.

Korea Airport Corporation spokesman Park Soon-Cheon said construction had been suspended at two other airport projects, Uljin in the southeastern province of North Gyeongsang and Gimje in the southwestern province of North Jeolla.

Authorities are considering turning Uljin, which is 85 per cent completed at a cost of A$207 million, into a pilot training centre, he added.

Changi Airport is a goner since some years ago. Can not be depended on as Singaporean rice bowl any longer.
