Gwangju Airport — Gwangju, South Korea

Gwangju Airport serves the city of Gwangju, one of the largest urban centers in southwestern South Korea, in a metropolitan area of the country's Jeolla region. At an elevation of about 39 feet, it has two concrete runways, the longer near 9,300 feet, and shares its site with military operations. The airport offers domestic flights to Jeju and Seoul, though the region is also well linked by high-speed rail. Gwangju is a major cultural and administrative hub in the southwest, and its airport handles the traffic of a substantial city. The KWJ code identifies this field, serving one of South Korea's principal urban areas away from the busy Seoul corridor.
