Contents

Facilities

The airfield has a single grass runway 11/29 measuring 6650 x 164 feet (2027 x 50 m). It is sited on the west coast of North Korea along the Korea Bay.

History

During the UN occupation of North Korea in the Korean War, it saw some use under the designation K-17; however its coastal location may have made it unsuitable for regular use. In 1971, some reconstruction activity occurred, but the airfield has still remained largely inactive.
