여객과 물류를 넘어, 글로벌 항공 MRO 허브로✈
인천공항은 지난해 첨단복합항공단지 내 첫 입주시설인 화물기 개조시설(P2F)을 준공하며 항공 MRO 사업의 본격적인 출발을 알렸습니다.
지난 5월에는 B777 여객기 초도기가 입고돼 약 180일간의 화물기 전환 작업에 돌입했는데요.
현재는 항공기 동체를 정밀하게 절단하고 보강하는 핵심 공정인 대형 화물창(Main Deck Cargo Door) 설치까지 본격적으로 진행되고 있습니다.
여기에 국내 항공산업과의 동반성장도 이어지고 있습니다.
사천 지역 기업이 대형 화물창과 보강 구조물을 제작해 국산 항공부품 품질인증(PMA)을 획득했으며, 약 4천여 개의 부품을 40여 개 국내 협력업체가 함께 생산하고 있습니다.
인천 지역 기업 역시 항공기 개조 정비 플랫폼 국산화에 성공해 해외 수출 판로까지 넓혀가고 있습니다.
첨단복합항공단지 내 격납 부지 7개소 중 3개소에는 이미 개조·정비 분야 기업 투자유치를 완료했으며, 앞으로 페인팅 격납고까지 적극 유치해 정비·개조·도장을 아우르는 원스톱 MRO 서비스 체계를 확보할 예정입니다.
향후 연간 6대 규모의 화물기 개조를 수행하며, 국내 항공산업의 경쟁력을 높이고 글로벌 공급망 진입 기회도 지속적으로 확대해 나갈 계획입니다.
여객·물류를 넘어 MRO까지.

Beyond passengers and logistics, Incheon Airport is taking the next step toward becoming a global aviation MRO hub ✈
Last year, Incheon Airport completed its first facility within the Advanced Aviation Complex, a Passenger-to-Freighter (P2F) conversion facility, marking the full-scale launch of its aviation MRO business.
In May, the first Boeing 777 passenger aircraft arrived at the facility and began an approximately 180-day conversion process into a freighter.
The project has now entered one of its most critical stages: the installation of the Main Deck Cargo Door, which requires precision cutting and structural reinforcement of the aircraft fuselage.
This progress is also contributing to the growth of Korea’s aviation industry.
A company based in Sacheon manufactured the main deck cargo door and reinforcement structures and obtained Parts Manufacturer Approval (PMA), while around 4,000 aircraft parts are being produced by approximately 40 domestic partner companies.
An Incheon-based company has also successfully localized an aircraft conversion and maintenance platform, expanding its opportunities into overseas markets.
Of the seven hangar sites planned within the Advanced Aviation Complex, investment has already been secured for three sites in the aircraft conversion and maintenance sectors. Going forward, Incheon Airport plans to actively attract a painting hangar as well, establishing a one-stop MRO service system covering maintenance, conversion, and painting.
The airport also plans to carry out up to six aircraft conversions annually, while continuing to strengthen the competitiveness of Korea’s aviation industry and expand opportunities for domestic companies to enter the global supply chain.
Beyond passengers and logistics, into MRO.
Stay tuned as Incheon Airport continues its journey toward becoming a global aviation MRO hub. ✈
