Sacheon Airport / Sacheon Air Base guide

Sacheon Airport is a domestic airport in South Gyeongsang Province, on the southern coast of South Korea. It serves the city of Sacheon and the larger city of Jinju, and it shares its airfield with a Republic of Korea Air Force base. Civil passenger service began in 1977. The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure and Transport owns the site, and Korea Airports Corporation runs the civil side alongside the Air Force.

Traffic is small and concentrated on two routes. Jin Air and Seom Air fly to Seoul Gimpo, and Korean Air flies to Jeju. Seom Air began Gimpo service on 30 March 2026 with ATR 72-600 turboprops, which raised the Sacheon-Gimpo schedule from four to twelve flights a day. The flight takes about one hour and fifteen minutes. In 2024 the airport handled 240,913 passengers and 1,755 aircraft movements.

The airfield has two parallel concrete runways, each 2,743 metres long, a legacy of its military role. The civil terminal is a small single-storey building. The airport sits at 8 metres above sea level on flat ground near the coast.
