Facilities

The airfield has a single concrete runway 13/31, measuring 8500 x 180 feet (3277 x 55 m). It has a full length parallel taxiway and other taxiways leading to hangars. Earth revetments are located along the parallel taxiway. Some aeronautical charts show a second north-south runway; however it may just be a taxiway.

Missile Base

In December 2016, U.S. analysts reported that a missile base had been constructed approximately 13 miles from the airport, and was possibly the site for Hwasong-10 missiles tests in October.
