Pyongyang Sunan International Airport guide

Pyongyang Sunan International Airport is the sole international airport serving Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea, in the Sunan District about 25 kilometres from the city centre. The government owns the airport and the Civil Aviation Administration of Korea operates it. It was built as Sunan Airfield after World War II to replace earlier Japanese-era airports.

Two passenger terminals serve the airport. Terminal 2, the international terminal, opened on 1 July 2015 with jet bridges, at least 12 check-in counters, duty-free shopping and business lounges. Terminal 1 handles domestic flights and opened in January 2016. There is no hotel on site.

Two concrete runways are in use: 01/19, measuring 4,000 by 60 metres, and 17/35, measuring 3,425 by 60 metres. Air Koryo, the state carrier, flies domestic and regional routes to Beijing, Shenyang and Vladivostok. Air China serves Beijing and Nordwind Airlines serves Moscow Sheremetyevo. The airport closed to international travel in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic and reopened in 2023.

Sunan Station on the Korean State Railway is 800 metres from the terminal, and an expressway reaches central Pyongyang in about 30 minutes.
