A Study Involving the Transformation of Cheongju International Airport into a National Aviation Distribution Hub in Korea

Logistics is defined as the economic activity that creates the time and space values of the goods. Logistics activities are a comprehensive system of organizing the phase-in activities of transport, storage, unloading, packaging and logistics information into activities that are used to maximize its effectiveness and enhance its internal value. In particular, the change in transport mode was a major factor in strengthening logistics competitiveness. Air logistics is a concept that connects freight services and logistics services using aircraft and airports, and is rapidly gaining share of the logistics market along with shipping logistics in modern society. Today, the nation’s air logistics sector has been focused and managed at the hub of Incheon International Airport. Under the new international trade environment, however, the development and utilization of air logistics is becoming a crucial task to enhance the competitiveness of the nation`s logistics industry. This change will require the aviation logistics sector to seek more diverse and systematic strategies and management measures. Accordingly, this research aims to devise ways to utilize the air distribution hub at Cheongju International Airport and to present improvement tasks.
