SEOUL -- South Korean President Moon Jae-in has indicated he is willing to help North Korea open its airspace to international flights that land at or take off from Incheon Airport, about 50km southwest of Seoul. North Korean leader Kim Jong Un suggested the opening back in February, but the matter of international sanctions has not been cleared.
Opening the air space would bring financial benefits to North Korea, which could collect fees every time a passenger jet uses its airspace, as well as to airlines, which would no long have make costly detours around North Korea.
