## Description

On North Korea's south-west coast in South Hwanghae Province, Haeju Airfield is a purely military installation with no IATA code, no published schedule and no commercial cargo function. For shippers, the legal position matters more than the infrastructure: trade with the DPRK falls under the comprehensive UN sanctions regime administered by the 1718 Committee, implemented through separate EU and Swiss ordinances, with cargo inspection duties and the listing of suspect vessels — further ships were proposed for designation at the end of 2025. Routine air freight into the region is therefore effectively closed to European forwarders, and breaches carry criminal and export-control consequences. The city of Haeju does operate a Yellow Sea port handling general and bulk cargo, but that traffic is equally subject to sanctions and international monitoring. The country's only air-cargo gateway of note remains Pyongyang Sunan International (FNJ), roughly 100 km to the north-east, served by a handful of connections. Humanitarian consignments require a prior exemption from the 1718 Committee and clearance from the competent national authority.
