Korea's international air passenger traffic surged 22.6% in April from a year earlier due to
a sharp rise in visitors from Japan and other countries, and more Koreans going abroad.
The number of international air passengers came to some 3.75 million, the highest
number for the month of April, according to the Ministry of Land, Transport and
Maritime Affairs. The previous record was reached in April 2011, when numbers hit
3.07 million. The Ministry attributed the growth to a rise in the number of Japanese
visitors arriving in the country during the national holidays of Golden Week, and Koreans
going overseas to places like Southeast Asia.
