Gonghang-dong (KoreanScript error: No such module "Lang".Template:Category handler) is a dong (neighborhood) of Gangseo District, Seoul, South Korea. The name gonghang literally means "airport", which is due to Gimpo International Airport located in the area.[1][2]

Korean Air's headquarters, Korean Airport Service, Ltd., and Air Total Service are located in Gonghang-dong.[3][4]

In addition, the former headquarters of the Aviation and Railway Accident Investigation Board is in Gonghang-dong.[5] The facility once housed the headquarters of the predecessor agency Korea Aviation Accident Investigation Board.[6] The headquarters of the ARAIB agency are now in Sejong City.

History

The region was originally called Songjeongri(松亭里) during the Joseon dynasty because of its thick pine trees.[7] In 1914, the region merged with neighboring Nuleori(訥語里) and Soyulri(小栗里) to form Songjeongri under Kimpo.[7] From 1963, the place was renamed as gonghangdong to reflect that it has an airport(gonghang means airport in korean).[8]
