Muan Airport is located in the middle of a migratory bird habitat to the east, west, south, and north.
It is not far away, but right next to it, and it is said to be the largest migratory bird destination in Muan (4 times the area of Suwon).
Other airports are also said to be next to migratory bird habitats, but Muan Airport seems to be the only airport where the east, west, south, and north are all migratory bird habitats.
At Muan Airport, when the number of users reached 890,000, which was the highest in 2019 before the coronavirus, 5 bird strikes occurred.
If calculated based on the 70 million people who use Incheon Airport a year, the number is 393.
This is a very high figure considering that the total number of bird strikes at all airports in Korea is an average of 100 per year.
If the route is extended to the international airport, the risk of accidents seems too high.
