Airports at each end
Leaving Pécs
Pécs is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Pécs-Pogány International Airport (PEV), 10 km (6 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 4,922 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Osijek Airport (OSI, 82 km).
Arriving in Seoul
Seoul is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Seoul Gimpo International Airport (GMP), 17 km (11 mi) from the centre, whose 11,811-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft. The alternatives are Incheon International Airport (ICN, 48 km), Wonju Airport / Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46) (WJU, 88 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seoul Gimpo International Airport | GMP | 17 km (11 mi) | 11,811 ft | 59 ft |
| Incheon International Airport | ICN | 48 km (30 mi) | 13,123 ft | 23 ft |
| Wonju Airport / Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46) (regional) | WJU | 88 km (55 mi) | 9,000 ft | 329 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 8,316 km (5,167 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
