Flights to Jeonju
Which airport to land at, how far each is from the centre, and where the routes go. Live fares are booked here.
Jeonju is served by 2 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Gunsan Airport / Gunsan Air Base (KUV), 49 km (30 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,000 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft. The alternatives are Gwangju Airport (KWJ, 84 km).
| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gunsan Airport / Gunsan Air Base (regional) | KUV | 49 km (30 mi) | 9,000 ft | 29 ft |
| Gwangju Airport (regional) | KWJ | 84 km (52 mi) | 9,300 ft | 39 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,000 ft, KUV handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 29 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
