Highlights
History
It was reborn in June 2017 under the name "Busan Air Cruise", as part of a restoration project to revive the former fame of Songdo Beach. The name combines an aeroplane in the sky with a cruise ship on the sea.
It is a monocable gondola system built by the Austrian cable car company Doppelmayr. It has equipment that constantly monitors the position of the rope and immediately slows down or stops if anything abnormal is detected, and the operator says it was designed to withstand even a strong earthquake of intensity 7.
