“During the visit of Incheon Airport management, we started discussing current issues, such as airport modernisation and digitalisation of airport signages. We have searched for modern ways of technologically incorporating other languages spoken by large groups of passengers in order to facilitate the targeted use of airport signage for particular flights. I believe that this will become one of our joint projects.”
President and CEO of Incheon International Airport, Dr. Il-Young Chung, said: “As the aviation demand at Václav Havel Airport Prague is expected to grow continuously, the MOU between our two airports will be of great help in our aviation network expansion. We will continue to establish strategic partnerships with East European airports that have much growth potential, and equip Incheon International Airport with differentiated hub competitiveness.”
