, ‘According to Korea Airports Corporation, a vehicle has been parked on the left side of the curved entrance to the arrival floor of the airport for three days since the morning of the 30th last month. The driver, who was running late for the flight as the parking lot was full during the holiday season, parked their car here before going on an overseas trip.’,
,
, ‘The Korea Airports Corporation attempted to tow the vehicle through a contractor but stated that it was impossible to tow the vehicle as it was parked too tightly on one side. Additionally, they explained that towing a hydrogen vehicle, the type of the parked car, requires a different method than towing a regular vehicle.’,
,
, ‘Due to the nuisance caused by the parked car, Gimhae Airport users are experiencing inconvenience. A person who posted a photo of the vehicle on a social networking service (SNS) expressed their dissatisfaction, saying, “The airport limousine bus cannot enter. They said towing is not possible.”‘,
,
, ‘Currently, large vehicles entering the arrival floor at Gimhae Airport are moving slowly. Contrary to A’s claim that buses cannot enter, it was found that some buses were avoiding the entrance due to safety concerns on the entrance ramp and entering the airport through a different route.’,
,
, ‘Upon hearing the story, netizens expressed anger, saying, “It constitutes an obstruction of normal traffic law,” “If the car is damaged during towing, the owner should be liable,” “The owner should be charged at least 10 times the parking fee.”‘,
,
, ‘An official from Gimhae Airport stated, “This incident is an exceptional case, and we will make efforts to prevent its recurrence,” adding, “We have contacted the vehicle owner. They confirmed that their return date is the 2nd and agreed to move the car immediately upon their return.”‘,
,
, ‘Meanwhile, Gimhae Airport has 5,336 parking spaces, which are essentially fully occupied during holidays and weekends, making parking practically impossible. In addition, inconveniences are frequently experienced due to double parking within the parking lot and illegal parking around the airport by long-term parked vehicles. The airport is encouraging the use of public transportation.’,
