Shanghai Airport Authority (AVINEX) and Korea Airports Corporation signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) in Shanghai on June 23 to strengthen aviation connectivity and tourism cooperation between China and South Korea.
As leading airport operators in their respective countries, the two sides have maintained close cooperation over many years, jointly organizing cultural promotion activities such as the "Lucky Shanghai" campaign at Gimpo Airport and Korea Week at Shanghai Pudong International Airport.
Shanghai currently operates routes connecting five airports managed by Korea Airports Corporation — Gimpo, Jeju, Busan, Daegu, and Cheongju. The routes are served by nine airlines, including China Eastern Airlines, Juneyao Air, and Spring Airlines, with further expansion planned for the 2026 summer-autumn season.
Under the agreement, the two sides will collaborate on route network development, passenger services, tourism promotion, and airport operations management to enhance hub competitiveness and regional connectivity across Northeast Asia.
As of June 21, Shanghai Pudong International Airport and Shanghai Hongqiao International Airport handled 18.81 million inbound and outbound passengers, with South Korea ranking as the top source of foreign visitors to Shanghai.
AVINEX President Zhou Hao said the MoU will strengthen long-term cooperation and inject new momentum into the China-South Korea aviation market, while KAC CEO PARK Jaehee highlighted the potential of Shanghai’s aviation hubs and expressed support for further network expansion between the two countries.
Established in 1980 under South Korea's Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport, Korea Airports Corporation operates 14 airports, excluding Incheon International Airport. Its network includes seven international airports and seven domestic airports, supported by extensive expertise in airport management and commercial development.
