Expansion of the Hands-Free Urban Travel Service 'EasyDrop'
From Hongdae and Incheon to Myeongdong and Gangnam
The 'Easy Drop' service, which allows passengers to send their luggage in advance from the city and pick it up at the overseas destination airport, will be available in Myeongdong and Gangnam, Seoul.
On the 27th, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Incheon International Airport Corporation announced that they will expand the 'Easy Drop' service to Myeongdong and Gangnam in Seoul.
Currently, passengers using Korean Air, Asiana Airlines, Jeju Air, and T'way Air can use the service at the City Airport Terminal or at Hongdae (Holiday Inn Express Hotel), and Incheon (Inspire Resort, Paradise City Hotel).
Starting on the 28th, this service will be available not at a specific hotel but at a dedicated luggage check-in office near Exit 9 of Myeongdong Station. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport and Incheon Airport Corporation plan to expand this service early next year to areas densely populated with hotels and residences near Apgujeong Station and Sinsa Station.
Ahn Se-hee, Director of Aviation Security Policy at the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, stated, "We will expand participating airlines so that more passengers can conveniently and safely use the Easy Drop service, and continuously increase urban bases while ensuring flawless security throughout the entire process of luggage transportation, storage, and loading."
Lee Hak-jae, President of Incheon International Airport Corporation, said, "The expansion of the Easy Drop service will greatly enhance passenger convenience. We will continue to expand Incheon Airport's differentiated smart services to strengthen future competitiveness."
