## Description

Semiconductors and biopharma define the freight profile around Cheongju International Airport (CJJ): SK Hynix runs major fabs in the city and the Osong life-science cluster sits a few kilometres away. The airport handled 18,918 tonnes of cargo in 2024, a sharp rise driven by e-commerce flows on its Asian routes. Civil operations share the runways with the Republic of Korea Air Force (base K-59), while the passenger side serves Daejeon, Sejong and the wider Chungcheong region. On-site customs clearance covers general and express cargo; intercontinental mainline freight is normally trucked to Incheon (ICN) via the Gyeongbu Expressway. The KTX rail station at Osong links the catchment area to Seoul and Busan. For forwarders, CJJ works best as a regional uplift point with fast access to central Korea's industrial belt.
