Wonju Airport is an airport in Hoengseong County, Gangwon, South Korea. During the Korean War it was designated K-46 (Hoengseong Air Base) by the United States Air Force. In 2011, 70,943 passengers used the airport, which is mainly for military use.[1]
Only one parking position is large enough for a Boeing 737-900. The airport has a daily scheduled flight two times, currently operated by Jin Air to Jeju.
Because Wonju Airport is sharing with the military, taking photograph or video of apron, runway and military facility is strictly prohibited.
Wonju Airport's passenger terminal is 1.5 km from the airport runway, requiring passengers to take a shuttle bus (about 20 minutes) to their aircraft.[2]
