It serves Pohang and the nearby historic city of Gyeongju.
💡 Local Tip
Because this is a shared military airfield, avoid photographing the flight line, military aircraft, or perimeter security—even a quick phone shot can attract attention. Save photos for the terminal or public areas.
🚖 Getting There
Taxis are the most straightforward option to central Pohang, Pohang Station, and the intercity bus terminal; expect 20–30 minutes. City buses also serve the airport, but routes and frequencies are limited, so verify times locally. If you have an early flight, pre-book a taxi or arrange a hotel shuttle, as late-night bus service is sparse.
