Location

Suwon, South Korea

Suwon Airport is a joint-use military and civilian airport located in Suwon, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea. It serves as a base for the Republic of Korea Air Force while also handling limited domestic commercial and general aviation operations. The airport is situated relatively close to the Seoul metropolitan area, providing an alternative facility for certain domestic routes. Due to its primary military function, civilian operations are restricted and the airport handles significantly lower passenger volumes compared to major South Korean commercial airports. Given its dual-use nature and proximity to larger airports such as Incheon International and Gimpo International, Suwon Airport has a limited commercial footprint and primarily supports military aviation activities.

Terminals

The airport has a modest civilian terminal facility to support its limited domestic commercial operations alongside its primary military infrastructure.

Getting to & from
