Social organizations in Muan County, South Jeolla Province, along with the Muan International Airport Revitalization Promotion Committee, have strongly protested the prolonged closure and delayed reopening of Muan International Airport, urging the government and South Jeolla Province to take responsible measures.
In a statement issued on the 10th, they expressed regret, saying, "The delayed reopening of Muan International Airport is not merely a matter of facility restoration, but represents a collapse of trust in the national aviation policy and a deprivation of air transportation rights for residents in the southwestern region."
They strongly demanded three key actions: a thorough investigation into the Jeju Air accident, transparent disclosure of the restoration work and the need for local consultation, and a comprehensive normalization plan led by the central government.
They further stated, "The delay in reopening the airport is a serious issue that calls for a fundamental review of the direction of national aviation policy. The central government and South Jeolla Province must stop evading responsibility and provide honest answers. We will continue to monitor and take action until normalization is achieved."
