If there are something suspicious items to be screened, screener and also the passenger involved can see what's unconfirmed (both screener and passenger can check what's unconfirmed).

It's hard to give any specific information for the security reason.
But, only passengers suspected of posing a threat to other travelers and airplanes, and those who are on the watch list or suspected of carrying suspicious materials on their first security checks will undergo the AIT screening. We are not selecting by nationality, race, gender, religion, departing country, etc.
11. If passengers refuse to scan by AIT and also physical pat-down from religious reason?

If refused, passengers and any baggage can be denied to board the aircraft.

○ It is most common for flights which last less than 3 hours from the departing airports in China and Japan.
○ Therefore, until the departing airport (China, Japan) sends Incheon Airport a message of the actual departure time, the estimated time of arrival at Incheon Airport is the same as the scheduled time of arrival on the internet, flight information monitor, and information desks.
○ Sometimes when welcoming parties only go by the scheduled time of arrival, there are instances when they arrive before the flight departs from the airport due to reasons at the departing area or because of problems with the weather.
○ Welcoming parties may have to wait a prolonged period of time when the arrival is delayed compared to the scheduled arrival time.
○ Welcoming parties should contact the information desk and confirm the new arrival time whenever they can.
If an aircraft fails to arrive on the scheduled date and arrives late, it will be handled as follows:
-If the arrival is delayed to the next day as of 24:00, the existing flight number will be deleted and the flight will be operated under same flight number the next day.
-If there was no flight with the same flight number scheduled on the next day, the added flight will be displayed under the same flight name, but if there was, English alphabet(s) will be added to the end of your flight number, so please take note.
