Incheon and Hong Kong Airports (ROK/VRC)

Travel comfort for East Asia

Almost all paths lead to Jeju: with around ten million passengers, the link between the South Korean holiday island and the capital Seoul is the busiest flight route in the world.*

Wanzl is providing a first-class service for airline passengers at Incheon International Airport: since the beginning of the year, a total of 6,000 Travel 400 luggage transport trolleys in a stainless steel design have been delivered in batches to the airport in Seoul. Wanzl completely redesigned the elegant trolleys based on the customer's individual requirements. The highlights of this innovative transport solution include the generous amount of space for luggage, the impressively high level of stability and the ease of operation. Equipped with these characteristic features, the Wanzl trolleys are helping the largest South Korean Airport to further expand its global service leadership. The leading airport association, the Airports Council International (ACI), has already honoured Incheon International Airport for its service quality, ranking it the "Best Airport in the World" with first place in the "Airport Service Quality Awards". It was the seventh time in a row that Incheon had won this prize.

The passengers themselves decided on the winner by answering surveys conducted at over 200 airports around the world. The flight route from Hong Kong to Taipei ranks 8th in the world in terms of numbers of passengers and is the only international route within the top ten.* Chek Lap Kok Airport in Hong Kong, which welcomes over 56 million airline passengers per year, has also been one of Wanzl's customers for many years now – one of the 350 or so other airports around the world that opts for Wanzl. The top-of-the-line product quality, the long life cycle of the trolleys combined with the low maintenance costs and Wanzl's excellent service led to a second order from Chek Lap Kok: since 2012, customers have been supported by an additional 5,200 luggage transport trolleys from the third generation of Voyager 3000. These new trolleys, in a lightweight aluminium design, are enabling passengers to transport their luggage with ease.
