South Korean air base serving military and limited civilian operations.

Location

Chungju, South Korea

Jungwon Air Base, also known as Chungju Airport, is a South Korean Air Force installation located near Chungju in North Chungcheong Province. It serves primarily as a military airfield operated by the Republic of Korea Air Force, with the IATA code JWO assigned for potential civilian use. The airport has historically offered limited civilian charter or scheduled services, though regular commercial passenger traffic is minimal. Its dual designation reflects South Korea's practice of maintaining joint-use designations for military airfields. The facility is situated in the inland region of South Korea, away from major metropolitan centers, which limits its commercial viability compared to larger international airports such as Incheon or Gimpo.
