Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 station
Incheon International Airport Terminal 1 Station is a railway station on AREX and Incheon Airport Maglev. It is in Incheon International Airport's transport center and currently the terminus. Since June 2014, KTX operated from this station with stops at Geomam Station and Seoul Station towards Busan and Gwangju. Before the KTX opened services at this station, there was high-leveled platform which had no use. Since this time, only this platform didn't have platform screen doors because there was a plan for a 2nd airport railroad to go there, but this plan changed to KTX. After that, KTX started to run, they have changed the empty platform to a low leveled-platform to make KTX rideable. In the same year,[2] KTX expanded service to Incheon Airport. Since 2018, KTX service to Incheon Airport has been suspended[3] despite signage in both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 saying otherwise. The suspension became permanent in September 2018 as the line was officially abolished.[4][5] Travelling to cities other than Seoul via rail is now only available after a transfer at Seoul Station via the AREX. In 2019, the KTX service was temporally operative again with 3 daily services to Gwangju, because of the 2019 World Aquatics Championships. The service started in July 9, and finished in July 29. [6]

In 2014, KORAIL began to offer KTX high-speed train connections from Incheon International Airport to Seoul, Daegu, Busan and other cities in Korea. The Incheon Airport KTX service was suspended now at the end of March 2018. The main reason was that the demand was too low and ridership stayed far below necessary numbers.
