Features

It is about 300m away from Gwangju Airport, so it is not far away, but the frequency of use is low, and after the opening of GwangjuSongjeong Station on the Honam High-Speed Rail, the demand has been distributed to Gwangju Songjeong Station operated by Gwangju Metro, and the utilization rate has been decreasing.
