Gimhae International Airport ( IATA: PUS, ICAO: RKPK) is located on the western end of Busan, South Korea. Opened in 1976, the airport is named after the nearby city of Gimhae. A new international terminal opened on October 31, 2007. [3] Gimhae International Airport is the main hub for Air Busan, and a focus city for Jeju Air, Jin Air and Korean Air. Runway 18L/36R is used for military purposes only for Gimhae Air Base, but due to increasing traffic, there are plans to open the runway for airliners.[ citation needed] In 2018, 17,064,613 passengers used the airport.
As the airport is now beyond its design capacity and surrounded by mountains, buildings and other objectives, a new airport is currently being built on Gadeokdo to meet growing demand. [4] [5] Because the airport is shared with military facilities, photography and video of the apron, runway, and military stations are prohibited according to the airport website. [6]
In August 1976, Gimhae Airport opened, and commercial air traffic shifted there from the old airport. A new domestic terminal was completed in May 1983. [7] Korean Air launched a route to Honolulu in October 1992. [8] In April 2002, Northwest Airlines began service to its hub at Tokyo's Narita Airport, where people could board connecting flights to the United States. [9] [10] In March 2007, Lufthansa inaugurated service to Munich via Seoul. This was the first route between Busan and Europe. [11] [12] President Roh Moo-hyun opened a new international terminal seven months later. [13] Delta Air Lines, which had merged with Northwest, ended the Tokyo link in May 2012. [9] [11] Lufthansa terminated its flight to Busan in March 2014. [14]
^1 Korean Air between Busan and Incheon is available only to passengers flying internationally to/from South Korea with Korean Air [42]
