Dual-use military and civilian airfield in central South Korea.
Location
Chungju, South Korea
Jungwon Air Base, also known as Chungju Airport, is a dual-use military and civilian airfield located in North Chungcheong Province, South Korea. It serves as an active Republic of Korea Air Force installation while also accommodating limited civilian aviation operations.
The airport is situated in the inland region of South Korea near the city of Chungju, providing regional air access to an area that is otherwise served primarily by road and rail transportation. Civilian passenger services at this facility have historically been limited or suspended, reflecting the base's primary military function.
Due to its dual-use nature and limited civilian traffic, Chungju Airport does not operate as a major commercial hub. Its IATA code JWO and ICAO code RKTI are registered, but scheduled commercial airline services have been minimal or nonexistent in recent years.
