On the 24th, Jo Gyu-il, Mayor of Jinju City, Gyeongnam Province, received an explanation from LH about the progress of the industrial complex development being promoted by the LH Jinju-Sacheon Project Group at the Gyeongnam Aviation National Industrial Complex (Jinju District), and visited the site to encourage the officials.

The Gyeongnam Aviation National Industrial Complex covers an area of 1.65 million square meters and is being developed in two districts: Jinju and Sacheon. The Jinju district (830,000 square meters), which began construction in September 2019, is currently 86% complete and is scheduled to be completed by October 2024.

Mayor Jo Gyu-il is conducting an on-site inspection of the Gyeongnam Aviation National Industrial Complex (Jinju District).

The Gyeongnam Aviation National Industrial Complex (Jinju District) is a key location promoted to establish aerospace industry infrastructure and strengthen the competitiveness of advanced industries by the government, with the construction of a public hospital in western Gyeongnam confirmed.

In particular, a space environment testing facility about ten times larger than the Space Parts Testing Center (for extreme space environment testing and development of microsatellites) operated by the Korea Testing Laboratory (KTL) since 2020 is being planned, making it the optimal site in Korea to lead the future space industry and to cluster advanced aviation and K-defense industries.

Mayor Jo said, “With the passage of the Special Act on the Space Aviation Agency, which is accelerating the development of the aerospace industry, I hope the project will be carried out perfectly to become a central city in the aerospace industry. Jinju City will also provide active support for the development of the space and future aviation sectors.”
