Facilities for disabled people
Unfortunately, Incheon International Airport’s website contains very little information indeed about accessibility or facilities for disabled travellers. The airport guide available from this page (as a PDF file, 10.4 MB; requires a suitable reader, eg Adobe Reader) shows three service lounges for disabled passengers, without however explaining what facilities are available in them. The guide contains more information about the airport express train’s accessible features (disabled toilets at the station, Braille and induction loop guides, wheelchair space in every carriage) than it does about the airport’s!
Disabled parking is discounted at 50%.
A contact number is given for disabled, elderly and pregnant passengers: (+82) 1577-2600.
