Kang Da Ri Airport is an airport in Wonsan, Kangwon-do, North Korea. It is immediately adjacent to the nearby Kang Da Ri Highway Strip.

Facilities

The airfield has a single asphalt runway 04/22 measuring 1560 x 46 feet (475 x 14 m).[1] It is sited across a river from the Kang Da Ri Highway strip, and recent satellite photos appear to show a bridge connecting the two under construction.[2] The reported runway appears to be on substantial fill and possibly extends through a nearby hill and emerges on the other side. The field is a few miles southwest of Wonsan Airport.
