GroundK handled airport CIQ protocol transport for senior delegates from the Philippines and Timor-Leste at the PEMNA (Public Expenditure Management Network in Asia) high-level meeting. We managed the full customs, immigration, and quarantine process at the airport, delivering reception and send-off in line with official government protocol.
Why airport CIQ protocol is a demanding service
CIQ protocol covers the customs, immigration, and quarantine procedures handled inside the airport. It is typically used by government officials, diplomats, and global executives who need tight security and fast movement at the same time. Because every step of the arrival process is tied to diplomatic courtesy, it calls for a level of precision well beyond ordinary ground transport.
At this PEMNA high-level meeting, GroundK took charge of the entire reception and send-off for the delegations from the Philippines and Timor-Leste. We shaped the first impression of Korea, the country's gateway, into the highest standard of courtesy aligned with official government protocol.
The CIQ segment in particular has to flow without a break, from the moment a delegate steps off the aircraft through to the official route. Because the arrival process, the protocol route, and vehicle dispatch all have to move as one, our team checked every touchpoint on site in advance and linked each delegate's movement without a single delay.
From CIQ to Double Door: the full range of airport protocol
GroundK holds a broad track record that spans from CIQ service, which begins at the aircraft door inside the airport security zone, to the top-tier Double Door service. Double Door is a special protocol reserved for heads of state and VVIPs who require the strictest security, and we have supported it on the strength of know-how built across many international conferences and government events.
We have delivered Double Door service at major international events such as the APEC 2025 ministerial meetings, the 2025 Seoul Defense Dialogue, and the Korea-Africa Summit. At the PEMNA meeting as well, we went beyond simply providing vehicles, securing the punctuality and security demanded by the agenda schedule and raising the standing of Korea's protocol mobility.

What makes T-RiseUp PMS-driven protocol transport different
What sets GroundK apart is pairing skilled human service with T-RiseUp PMS to bring digital transformation to protocol operations. By systemizing the complex VIP routes and dispatch schedules once managed by hand, we respond flexibly to airport conditions that shift in real time and operate with data-driven precision.
Adopting this system maximizes the efficiency of protocol transport while giving clients a transparent, accurate view of operations. The more variables a site holds, as government events tend to, the more clearly the value of data-controlled operations shows.
Because every vehicle route and driver status is managed on a single screen, the team can reassign dispatch instantly even when a schedule changes without warning. It is when the judgment of seasoned protocol staff meets the precision of the system that the punctuality and security senior delegates expect are met at the same time.
Toward a new standard for global event mobility
Backed by close working ties with airport authorities, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and security teams, GroundK provides airport protocol service at every level, from state-guest Double Door protocol to standard corporate VIP transport. Building on the success of this PEMNA high-level meeting, we will keep strengthening an integrated protocol and transport solution that covers special airport protocol such as Double Door and CIQ as well as standard VIP service.
Through professional service that meets global standards and an advanced operating system, we aim to become the mobility partner that gives every distinguished guest visiting Korea a first impression they will not forget.
