"Air City" is an intricate tale woven within the thriving microcosm of Incheon International Airport, South Korea's gateway to the world. Here, 30,000 dedicated employees tirelessly work round the clock, ensuring the airport's ceaseless operation. With 21 government bodies on the premises, the airport is more than a mere transit hub - it's a pulsating city in itself. The series introduces viewers to this sprawling world, revealing the herculean efforts that go into each flight's take-off and landing. From the moment your ticket is processed to the time you exit the gates, countless unseen heroes work relentlessly behind the scenes, ensuring your journey is safe and punctual. Our protagonists are the airport's unsung heroes, each playing a pivotal role in the airport's operations while nurturing a collective ambition to establish another 'air city' in Africa. The path to this dream is fraught with hurdles, yet they persist, their stories unfolding with a mix of tenacity, folly, and awkward grace. Their professional lives are as intense as their personal ones, where love intertwines with duty, creating a complicated web of emotions. Han Do Kyung, handpicked by the Airport Director, returns to Korea as the chief of operations at Incheon Airport, despite a pay cut. Haunted by her family's past and guilt of leaving her sister behind, Do Kyung finds solace in her work. She crosses paths with Kim Ji Sung, a devoted National Intelligence Service agent with a bend-the-rules approach, stationed at the airport. Their shared past opens old wounds, and yet a new passion ignites. Meanwhile, Kang Ha Joon, Do Kyung's childhood friend, also harbors feelings for her. A quick-tempered yet beloved surveillance officer at the airport, Ha Joon's affections for Do Kyung turn his world upside down, complicating their friendship, professional relationship, and his unspoken love. "Air City" thus unfolds, revealing the myriad stories hidden behind each flight, each journey, and each heart within the bustling confines of Incheon Airport.
