The number of travelers using the new passenger terminal of Incheon International Airport has surpassed 9 million since its opening six months ago, airport officials said Sunday.

As of last Wednesday, more than 9.08 million people used the second terminal, which started operations on Jan. 18, the airport's tally showed.

During the six-month period, the number of the airport users also rose to more than 33.44 million, an increase of about 12.6 percent from the same period in the previous year.

The second terminal accounted for some 27 percent of the airport's total passengers.

The airport authorities anticipated that the total number of passengers this year could reach a record high of 69 million.

"Based on the successful opening and stable operation of the second terminal, we will seek to expand our overseas projects all across the world," Incheon International Airport President and CEO Chung Il-young said. (Yonhap)
