Behind the’miracle’ that dramatically abolished the construction plan of Gimhae New Airport and revitalized Gaduk New Airport, there were hidden efforts of the Booulkyung local government and civic groups.
Immediately after the expansion of Gimhae Airport was confirmed in June 2016, Busan City promoted the New Airport Promotion Team under the Transportation Bureau to the New Airport Support Headquarters. It was a temporary organization with two divisions, the Airport Planning Division and the New Airport City Division.

Since July 2018, the 7th public election Busan municipal administration has “all-in” to the revival of Gadeokdo New Airport. There have been many sightings of constant pressure and reproach against airport-related responses. It was literally’ki-seung-jeon-gadeok new airport’. Busan City changed the name of the New Airport Support Headquarters to the New Airport Promotion Headquarters. It was also in October 2018 that Boul-gyeong formed a’one team’ by launching the’Southeast Area Gateway Airport Promotion Planning Team’ together.
A politician from the Democratic Party, who is well aware of the situation in Busan, said, “The 7th civil election Busan city pushed the Gaduk New Airport to the extent that it was reckless, and there were voices of concern inside the party.” It would have been possible to empower this Gadeok new airport.”

Turning Point was the unconventional selection of the head of the new airport promotion headquarters in the 40s. In November 2019, even though it was not the regular greeting period, the city of Busan replaced the head of the new airport promotion headquarters and appointed Park Dong-seok, 42, the head of the Human Resources Development Institute. At that time, a’stimulus system’ was needed because it was a critical point in promoting Gaduk New Airport, such as the formation of the Gimhae New Airport Verification Committee in the Prime Minister’s Office. The atmosphere changed when Park added. While concentrating on uncovering the safety issues of Gimhae New Airport, he devised a system such as the Gadeok New Airport construction plan and access transportation network.
In this process, the city of Busan conducted all-round activities, including reviewing all 2,000 runways around the world, and delivering thousands of documents containing alternatives to the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, and Land’s errors and criticisms to the Prime Minister’s Office. There were more than 200 business trips and expert meetings led by Director Park.
In April of last year, when Busan Mayor Oh Geo-don resigned due to sexual harassment, the role of acting mayor Byeon Seong-wan, who appeared in the front, cannot be left out. Acting Byeon meticulously led the policies related to Gaduk New Airport until his resignation for the Busan Mayor’s by-election in January this year.
In Gyeongnam, Gwang-yong Byun, Mayor of Geoje and Young-wook Jang, head of the Southeast Region Strategic Planning Division in Gyeongnam Province, devoted their passion to attracting Gadeok New Airport. Mayor Byun made clear the position that “the only alternative is Gadukdo” at the inaugural press conference. Manager Jang is a witness who has established the central framework for the business of Gadeok New Airport in Gyeongnam Province. Since two years ago, he has served as the head of the Gyeongnam-do New Airport Promotion Team and the Future Strategy New Airport Business Unit, leading a working-level department that proves the irrationality of the expansion of Gimhae Airport and the necessity of constructing Gaduk New Airport.
The devotion of the citizens of Booul-kyung and the business and industry cannot be left out. More than 300 people, including commerce and industry experts, united together with the’Southeastern Gateway Airport Promotion Committee’. The’Gadeok New Airport Citizen’s Movement’, which started in 1995, has reached its peak since 2019. Gadeokdo New Airport Promotion Citizens’ Movement Headquarters, Geoje Citizens’ Movement Headquarters at Gadeok New Airport, Gimhae New Airport Anti-Citizens’ Countermeasure Committee, Gadeokdo Hub Airport Citizens’ Promotion Team, and a 24-hour safe new airport urge professor meeting. Promote Booul Gyeongbeom Citizens’ Movement Headquarters’, the National Movement Headquarters to attract new airports in Gaduk Island, showed the wishes of the city and residents of Booul-gyeong through action at every important point.
