부산지역 항공화물의 이동경로 분석에 관한 연구

Abstract

The present study aims to compare Korea’s export and import air cargo development and Gimhae and Incheon’s export and import air cargo development in order to assess the cause of Busan’s air cargo’s processing in Incheon international airport by analyzing routes per regional export and import air cargo rate. The present study also suggest a viewpoint about how Gimhae international air port can consolidate its competitiveness through hypothesizing virtual air transport routes in terms of export and import air transportation charge.

Keeping pace with the rapid changing globalization flow, logistics hub in the world are processing high-value logistics activity through synergy effect by connecting ports and airports. In case of Incheon, after Incheon International Airport has opened in March, 2001, Incheon has been developed drastically as a global logistics city by facilitating Incheon International Airport generally with Sea&Air combined transport system by making a connection to Incheon Port. Although we have Busan port which is both our country’s 1st and world’s 5th harbor but it is under unfair situation since Gimhae International Airport’s air cargo attracting competitiveness has been dropped so that cargo is transferred to Incheon International Airport.

We have discovered top 10 airports which have the largest amount of goods transported to find out reasons why Busan region’s air cargo is transferred to Incheon International Airport by analyzing moving routes. Based upon this, we have analyzed freight comparison which occurred to both Gimhae International Airport and Incheon International Airport in processing exportation and importation between top 10 airports and Busan.

As a result of analysis, we could find out that freight occurred lesser for top 9 airports when choosing Gimhae International Airport. Although Gimhae International Airport has advantage in freight part, the reason why Busan region’s air cargo is transferred to Incheon International Airport is because shippers has experienced difficulties in transporting cargo on the date they want due to the lack of normal routes at Gimhae International Airport.

In addition, airlines are reluctant to create routes at Gimhae International airport since it has facilitation problems to be used as an air cargo terminal. To solve this problem, they need to build a new airport which will be constructed in southeastern region to fulfill a function as an air cargo terminal. We consider that growth as a global logistics city by having synergy effect with a new Busan port needed through not only vitalization of exportation and importation in air cargo in both busan and southeastern area but also those of Sea&Air transport.
