| Airport | Code | From centre | Longest runway | Elevation |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Cheongju International Airport/Cheongju Air Base (K-59/G-513) | CJJ | 81 km (50 mi) | 9,000 ft | 191 ft |
| Wonju Airport / Hoengseong Air Base (K-38/K-46) (regional) | WJU | 10 km (6 mi) | 9,000 ft | 329 ft |
Runway length is a practical tell: at 9,000 ft, CJJ handles short and medium-haul aircraft, so a long-haul trip will connect somewhere else first. The airport sits at 191 ft; that is low enough that altitude never restricts departures.
