## Description

Jin Air is the sole scheduled carrier at Pohang Gyeongju Airport (KPO/RKTH), flying Boeing 737s mainly to Jeju (CJU) and Seoul-Gimpo from a field shared with the Republic of Korea Navy. There are no international passenger flights and no meaningful cargo operation. The surrounding region — home to Pohang's POSCO steelworks and the historic city of Gyeongju — routes its air freight through Gimhae/Busan (PUS), about 70 km south, or through Incheon (ICN) for intercontinental shipments. For air cargo, KPO is not the address; Busan and Incheon are.
