Daegu International Airport (IATA: TAE, ICAO: RKTN) is a dual-use civil and military airport located in Daegu, South Korea's fourth-largest metropolitan city. It serves both commercial passenger traffic and the Republic of Korea Air Force, which operates a significant presence at the facility.
The airport handles a modest volume of international and domestic routes, connecting Daegu to destinations across Asia including China and Japan. It serves as an alternative gateway to the broader Gyeongsang region, complementing the larger Incheon International Airport near Seoul.
Daegu Airport has faced long-term discussions regarding its future, with South Korean authorities planning to relocate military and civilian air operations to a new airport in the region, as the current facility is constrained by its urban location and shared military use.
