Wonju Airport( IATA :WJU, ICAO :RKNW) 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]
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] There is only one aircraft stand,large enough for a Boeing 737-900. The airport has two daily scheduled flights,currently operated by Jin Air to Jeju. Because Wonju Airport is shared with the military,taking photos or videos of the apron,runway,or any military facility is strictly prohibited.
