Pohang is served by 3 airports with scheduled flights within 100 km. The closest large one is Daegu International Airport (TAE), 65 km (40 mi) from the centre, with a longest runway of 9,039 ft, which limits it to short and medium-haul aircraft.

| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Daegu International Airport | TAE | 65 km (40 mi) | 9,039 ft | 116 ft |
| Pohang Airport (G-815/K-3) (regional) | KPO | 7 km (4 mi) | 7,000 ft | 70 ft |
| Ulsan Airport (regional) | USN | 48 km (30 mi) | 6,561 ft | 45 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,039 ft, TAE handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 116 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
