Flights to Incheon
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Incheon is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Seoul Gimpo International Airport (GMP), 14 km (9 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, 22 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seoul Gimpo International Airport | GMP | 14 km (9 mi) | 11,811 ft | 59 ft |
| Incheon International Airport | ICN | 22 km (14 mi) | 13,123 ft | 23 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 11,811 ft, GMP can take the largest long-haul aircraft, so direct intercontinental flights are physically possible here. The airport sits at 59 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
