Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Gwangyang is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Yeosu Airport (RSU), 13 km (8 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 6,890 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Sacheon Airport / Sacheon Air Base (HIN, 38 km), Gwangju Airport (KWJ, 84 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yeosu Airport (regional) | RSU | 13 km (8 mi) | 6,890 ft | 53 ft |
| Sacheon Airport / Sacheon Air Base (regional) | HIN | 38 km (24 mi) | 9,000 ft | 25 ft |
| Gwangju Airport (regional) | KWJ | 84 km (52 mi) | 9,300 ft | 39 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 6,890 ft, RSU handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 53 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
