Gimpo International Airport Station is a subway, railway and light rail station on Seoul Subway Line 5, Line 9, AREX, the Gimpo Goldline and the Seohae Line. True to its name, it serves the nearby Gimpo Airport, the hub of domestic flights in the Seoul metropolitan area as well as a limited number of regional international flights to and from China, Japan, and Taiwan.[1] Upon its opening in 1996, it became the first railway station in the Korean Peninsula to directly serve an airport.
