<Anchor> After
twists and turns, it seems that the'Gimhae New Airport Project', which was decided to expand the existing Gimhae Airport 4 years ago, will be eliminated.
Ahead of the Busan Mayor's by-election in April next year, there are concerns that political logic will shake the business again.

<Reporter> The
verification committee of the Prime Minister's Office today (17th) at 2 pm announces the final feasibility verification results, including the safety issues at Gimhae New Airport and the interpretation of the vote of the Ministry of Legislation.
The Verification Committee has been verifying the validity of the Gimhae Airport expansion plan announced by the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport in 2016 since December last year.
In this regard, Prime Minister Jeong Sye-gyun, who visited Busan last month, said about the controversy over the new airport in Gimhae.
[Jeongsegyun / Prime Minister (month 16): Busan, Ulsan, South Gyeongsang 800 will to finally do well finished as best role to ensure that only the city and residents eagerly yeomang is not the outer surface of]
the time of the verification committee Legislation ownership At the time of waiting for the interpretation, if you want to build a new runway at Gimhae Airport, you have to cut a nearby mountain that is at risk of collision.
In response, the Ministry of Legislation sent an answer last week saying that consultation with the local government is necessary.
However, there is no possibility that Busan City, who wants a new airport in Gadeok Island, will respond to the agreement, so pursuing a new airport in Gimhae will be virtually difficult according to this interpretation.
Therefore, it is known that the verification results of the verification committee of the Prime Minister's Office, which will be announced this afternoon, accept the interpretation by the Ministry of Legislation.
Gimhae New Airport is solved in the order of blanking.
When the Gimhae New Airport proposal was decided after a research service by a French professional institution in 2016, the Gadeok Island proposal was evaluated for its low economic feasibility and lack of accessibility.
