Korean Air completes Smart Cargo Terminal at Incheon
Korean Air has opened its fully integrated Smart Terminal at Incheon International Airport after a modernisation project that ran from June 2025 to September 2026, with cargo handling continuing without interruption.
Korean Air completed the modernisation of its cargo terminal at Incheon International Airport and opened a fully integrated Smart Terminal with automated logistics systems. The project ran from June 2025 to September 2026, and cargo handling continued without interruption during the work.
The upgrade includes Automated Guided Vehicles and new Elevating Transfer Vehicles. Korean Air expanded bypass infrastructure from a single line to dual automated transfer lines linked to the new ETVs, raising hourly Unit Load Device processing capacity from 18 to 30 units. Total cargo handling capacity is expected to increase by more than 25 percent.
The airline is also expanding specialised facilities for high-yield special cargo. It says automation of heavy equipment reduces manual handling and improves the working environment and operational precision. With Incheon complete, Korean Air is modernising its JFK cargo terminal, with completion targeted for 2027.
