North Korea's east coast military and civil airfield.
Location
Sŏndŏng-ni, North Korea
Sondok Airport (IATA: DSO, ICAO: ZKSD) is an airfield located near Sŏndŏng-ni in South Hamgyong Province on the eastern coast of North Korea. It serves the Hamhung and Hungnam area, one of the country's most industrially significant regions.
The airport has a dual military and limited civilian function, as is common with North Korean airfields. Due to the country's extreme isolation and restrictions on foreign travel, scheduled commercial air services are virtually nonexistent, and reliable public information about the facility is scarce.
Satellite imagery analysis by open-source researchers has confirmed the presence of runways and support infrastructure, but detailed operational data, passenger figures, and terminal layouts are not publicly available.
