## Description

A single domestic route to Jeju, fighter jets on the apron, and the Yellow Sea on the horizon: civil aviation at Gunsan Airport (KUV) is a small guest on a large military installation, home to the US 8th Fighter Wing. There is no cargo terminal and no freight handling. Air shipments from the Jeollabuk-do region – including the Saemangeum industrial zone and Gunsan's automotive and chemical plants – are trucked to Incheon (ICN). The adjacent Port of Gunsan handles the region's seaborne cargo and offers a practical sea-air combination via Incheon.
