Airports at each end
Leaving Sejong
Sejong is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Cheongju International Airport/Cheongju Air Base (K-59/G-513) (CJJ), 23 km (14 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Gunsan Airport / Gunsan Air Base (KUV, 98 km).
Arriving in Karachi
Karachi is served by one airport with scheduled flights. The closest large one is Jinnah International Airport (KHI), 16 km (10 mi) from the centre, whose 11,155-ft runway is long enough for long-haul wide-body aircraft.
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Jinnah International Airport | KHI | 16 km (10 mi) | 11,155 ft | 100 ft |
One end has no runway over 10,000 ft, so at 5,814 km (3,612 mi) this pair is unlikely to be flown nonstop by a wide-body; expect a connection.
