Construction of the Ulleung airport began with the goal of opening a port in 2025. It is expected to be of great help not only to dramatically increase the accessibility of Ulleungdo, but also to revitalize local tourism. Reporter Heo Seong-joon reports. This is Sadong port, Ulleung-gun, Gyeongbuk. The airport fills the sea and can be used by small planes with 50 passengers or less. At a total project cost of 660 billion won, a 1.2km runway and passenger terminal will be built. The goal is to open the port in 2025. When Ulleung Airport opens, the travel time from Seoul, which took more than 7 hours, will be reduced to about 1 hour. The construction of the Ulleung Airport has been a long-awaited project by Ulleung residents for 40 years after the first discussion began in 1981. This is because passenger ships are the only means of transport that can go inland from Ulleungdo. The flight is canceled about a hundred days a year, and the flight is practically suspended, especially in winter when the height of the waves is high. With the start of construction of the airport, Ulleung-gun decided to provide active administrative support so that the port could open as scheduled in 2025. Ulleung-gun hopes that when an airport is built, the quality of life for residents will greatly improve, and that 3.4 million tourists a year will increase to more than one million.
