Unpiloted urban maglev train at Incheon International Airport will be opened to the public on Feb 3.


Unpiloted urban maglev train which links Incheon International Airport to its surroundings will be opened to the public on Feb 3.
Anyone can use this public transport free of charge.

Government funded development of maglev technology started in the late 80s and the Incheon line is the first trial line in the Center for Urban Maglev Program which was established in 2006.

After 25 years of developing its own urban “maglev” train consisting of homemade components, the country is set to introduce the world’s second maglev in Feb.
Japan launched the world’s first urban maglev in Nagoya in 2005.

The urban maglev train, with a maximum speed of 111 kilometers per hour, runs the 6·1 km route with six stations linking Incheon International Airport with Yongyu.
This first domestically-developed urban maglev line will run every 15 min from 9:00 am to 6:00 pm everyday.

Incheon International Airport Corporation will operate the urban maglev railway line for free of charge as a pilot route for now.
However, Incheon International Airport Corporation can start charging according to future demand in consultation with the Ministry of Transportation and Incheon City.
