Gimpo Airport (GMP) lost and found

Gimpo is Seoul's domestic and short-haul international airport — most flights to Tokyo, Osaka, Beijing, and Shanghai go through here. It's smaller than Incheon, but the lost-and-found office is equally well-organized. The recovery process is the same: log the item with us, we coordinate with the airport in Korean, and ship it home.

How LFK helps

  1. 1

    Submit your report

    Tell us the date, terminal (domestic or international), approximate area (gate, security, restaurant, parking), and a description of the item. The more specific, the easier the match.

  2. 2

    We call Gimpo's lost-and-found office

    We confirm in Korean whether the item has been logged. Gimpo's office tends to be faster than Incheon's because the volume is smaller — items often appear in the log within a few hours of being turned in.

  3. 3

    Photo confirmation

    Once we have a likely match, we ask the office to photograph it. You confirm before we pick up.

  4. 4

    Retrieve and ship

    We collect, package, and ship via EMS or express courier. For domestic Korean addresses, items can arrive next day. For Japan: typically 2–3 days via EMS Premium.

Frequently asked

Is the office open every day?

Yes, Gimpo's lost-and-found is staffed during airport operating hours. We work within those windows; off-hours requests are queued for next-day handling.

I flew Gimpo to Haneda — is it the Tokyo end or Seoul end?

Depends on where you last had it. If on the plane / Haneda side: contact JAL/ANA's lost-and-found at Haneda. If at Gimpo before boarding: we handle it. We can advise either way once you submit a report.

How long are items kept?

Roughly 30 days at the airport before transfer to police long-term storage. Earlier is easier.

What about items on a Gimpo–Jeju domestic flight?

Items on the aircraft itself are usually returned by the airline (Korean Air, Asiana, low-cost carriers) rather than the airport. We contact the airline directly when that's the case.
