Location

Sacheon, South Korea

Sacheon Airport, also known as Sacheon Air Base (RKPS), is a dual-use facility serving both civilian passengers and the Republic of Korea Air Force in Sacheon, South South Gyeongsang Province. The airport handles a limited number of domestic routes, primarily connecting Sacheon to Seoul's Gimpo Airport. The airport shares its runways and infrastructure with the adjacent Korea Aerospace Industries (KAI) complex, which manufactures military and civilian aircraft. This makes Sacheon a strategically significant site for South Korea's aerospace defense industry. Due to its small size and shared military use, passenger volumes remain modest compared to major South Korean airports, and international routes are not operated from this facility.

Terminals

The airport operates a single small passenger terminal handling domestic flights only.

Getting to & from

Ground transport from Sacheon Airport to the city center is available via taxi and local bus services.
