ROK Military Temporarily Suspends All Flights at Incheon & Gimpo International Airports
|It will be interesting to see if this suspension of flights had anything to do with North Korea:
South Korea’s transport ministry said Monday it temporarily suspended flights at the Gimpo and Incheon international airports, but it didn’t specify the reason.
At the request of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport said it had banned flights at the country’s two major airports for about an hour Monday afternoon.
Flights at the Gimpo and Incheon airports resumed at 2:10 p.m. after the flights were halted at 1:08 p.m. and 1:22 p.m., respectively, the ministry said.
Twenty flights at Gimpo and 10 flights at Incheon were delayed due to the suspension order, according to the airports’ operators.

You can read more at the link, but Incheon International Airport I have always felt is a very easy provocation target for North Korea that would have immense impact on South Korea.
Probably just realized dogs are colorblind and even with lots of training, their bomb dog ran the risk of cutting then wrong wire.
The 50 minute flight suspension at GMP and ICN was because of 5 DPRK UAVs that intruded into South Korean airspace.
Korea repelled the drones and only managed to lose one light attack aircraft.
North Korea: “That was… unexpected. We should do that more often.”
Wish our airlines had an excuse like that.
Hope no one has been flying in the CONUS for the past couple of days. Dear Lord it is a mess.
