Gimpo International Airport GMP / RKSS

Full ramp/passenger ground handling and baggage loading/unloading at Gimpo; Hanjin Group affiliate in which Korean Air holds a 59.54% stake (confirmed), operating at Gimpo and Incheon plus a Busan branch (per company profile). Specific concession/permit number not located, unconfirmed.

Ramp and ground handling; wholly owned Asiana Airlines subsidiary (confirmed 100%-owned; established Feb 1988 as Kumho Airport, said to be renamed Asiana Airport Inc. in 2013) operating from four bases centred on Incheon plus Gimpo, Busan and Jeju, per company profile. Now a Hanjin Group affiliate following the 2024-2025 Korean Air/Asiana merger; per company profile it is slated to combine with Korea Airport Service into one ground handler, so this entry may need re-checking as that integration proceeds.

Into-plane aircraft refuelling (급유) is one of the company's documented core service lines alongside ground handling, cargo and maintenance. Company was established 1968-02-20 (per Korean Wikipedia) - the '1962 Gimpo fuel-supply origin' claim in an earlier draft could not be confirmed and has been corrected. Specific fuel-brand/oil-major supply contract not confirmed.

Fuelling operations (급유조업) including aviation-fuel quality checks are one of the company's four documented core service lines at its Gimpo base (confirmed).

No dedicated de-icing programme document was located, but the company's ramp-handling remit covers all-weather ops through Seoul's genuinely cold winter (regular sub-zero temperatures and snow, Dec-Feb, so de-icing demand is real here, unlike a tropical station); de/anti-icing capability is inferred from that scope and is unconfirmed as a standalone service.

No dedicated de-icing documentation was located; inferred from the company's full ramp-handling scope through Seoul's genuinely cold winter season (unlike a tropical station, de-icing demand here is real). Unconfirmed as a standalone service.

Provides aircraft maintenance including line/transit maintenance; won Jin Air's domestic-line maintenance contract Nov 2009 and began Jin Air international line/operational maintenance Jul 2010 (Korean Air group LCC). No evidence of heavy/base checks at this location.

Provides aircraft line/transit maintenance (항공기 운항정비), formalised as one of the company's core service lines from 2011 per company profile; Asiana Airlines is separately reported to have built a Gimpo hangar in March 1991, though how that early Asiana Airlines facility relates to this subsidiary's 2011 line-maintenance entry is not fully confirmed. Asiana Airlines has no in-house heavy-maintenance base; C/D-check outsourcing to ANA, Lufthansa Technik, Rolls-Royce and Korean Air is reported but was not independently confirmed. Categorisation as line (not base) maintenance is well supported regardless.

Successor entity to Korean Air's in-flight catering and duty-free division, divested to private-equity firm Hahn & Co on 2020-08-25 for approx. KRW 990.6bn (confirmed via Korean Air's own company history); supplies Korean Air (and affiliate) flights, and an active company job posting ('[대한항공 C&D] 기내식 조리사' internship) is based in Gangseo-gu, Seoul - the district containing Gimpo airport and Korean Air HQ. Primary kitchen is nonetheless understood to be Incheon-area with catering trucked to Gimpo for KE's short-haul international departures (Haneda, Kansai, Songshan, Hongqiao); Gimpo-specific kitchen location, volumes and contract terms remain unconfirmed.

Became Asiana Airlines' main in-flight catering supplier from Jul 2018 when LSG Sky Chefs Korea's contract ended (2018-06-30) (confirmed); a fire delayed completion of Gate Gourmet's new Incheon production facility, so Sharp Do & Co bridged catering for a temporary period during the changeover rather than an ongoing joint arrangement - corrected from an earlier draft that described Sharp Do & Co as a continuing co-supplier. Kitchen is Incheon-area, with catering understood to be supplied onward to Gimpo for Asiana's short-haul international departures; Gimpo-specific volumes/contract terms unconfirmed.

Operates and trains staff on ramp ground-support equipment via an in-house ground-equipment training centre - confirmed via the company's own active JobKorea recruitment posting for a 'Ramp Tractor' trainee cohort at its ground-handling-equipment training centre, listed under 한국공항(주) (한진그룹).

Air cargo handling (항공화물 조업) is listed among the company's core documented services at its Gimpo/Incheon operation, including a second cargo terminal it runs at Incheon; which cargo building it works from at Gimpo specifically is unconfirmed.

Cargo handling (화물조업) is a documented core service line; the company's dedicated cargo terminal (Terminal C) is at Incheon, so Gimpo-specific cargo volumes/scope are unconfirmed.

KAC is the state-owned operator of Gimpo, one of 14 domestic airports it has managed since taking over Gimpo on 1980-07-01 (confirmed; Incheon is separately operated), and airport security/screening at KAC-managed airports is generally run under the airport operator's own security division rather than a separately branded concessionaire. No named third-party security contractor for Gimpo was located in sources reached; recorded here as self-provided by the airport operator, unconfirmed in operational detail.
