The South China Morning Post reported that the Incheon Airport Immigration Office is considering providing US$5 in-flight meal boxes to foreign nationals awaiting deportation. The proposed change is to food provision: local immigration offices currently supply bread and drinks, while the airport office is weighing taking over that role with airline-style meals.
The existing sequence begins with local offices confirming a foreign national’s unlawful stay and completing required procedures. They then transfer the person to Incheon airport, where the person waits in a designated area until a flight. The reported proposal concerns meals during that wait; it does not describe a change to the transfer steps.
