Gimhae International Airport, International airport in Busan, South Korea
Gimhae International Airport is an international airport in Busan, South Korea, connecting the city with destinations across Asia and domestic routes throughout the country. Two separate terminal buildings serve passengers arriving or departing for international and domestic flights.
Operations started in 1976 when air traffic moved from an earlier site. Expansion with an additional terminal followed seven years later to accommodate growing demand.
The facility maintains strict regulations regarding photography due to its shared operations with military installations, reflecting South Korea's security considerations.
The facility offers connections to major cities across Asia and domestic destinations like Seoul and Jeju. Signage and service counters help with orientation between the two terminals and different departure areas.
Surrounding mountains and urban development limit expansion possibilities on site. Long-term planning therefore includes the construction of a new facility on a nearby island.
