## Description

Despite carrying "air base" in its name, Changjin Air Force Base is a purely military airfield of the Korean People's Army Air Force and handles no civilian or commercial cargo. Set at about 3,450 feet in the rugged northeast near the Chosin Reservoir, it has no IATA code and no scheduled traffic. Freight forwarders serving South Hamgyong Province route air shipments through Pyongyang Sunan International Airport (FNJ), while ocean cargo moves via the east-coast ports of Hungnam and Wonsan. In this high mountain terrain, the passes — not the runway — define delivery times.
