September 1, 2023

Nach 7,5 Jahren Betrieb wurde die 6,1km lange Magnetbahn zwischen dem Terminal 1 und Yongyu (용유) stillgelegt, zuletzt wurden die Betriebszeiten aufgrund sehr geringer Fahrgastzahlen zurückgesetzt. Von einst 51 Fahrtenpaaren am Tag wurde im Jahr 2022 nur noch 12x gefahren (7x am Morgen und 5x am Abend). Die anstehenden Instandsetzungs-/Revisionsarbeiten brachten die vorerst temporäre Einstellung. Es gab zwar offiziell Pläne zur Reaktivierung, doch diese wurden bisher nicht verfolgt. Die Zukunft dieser Magnetbahn bleibt ungewiss.
