## Description

Air Koryo, North Korea's state flag carrier, runs Pyongyang Sunan International Airport (FNJ) as its home base and shapes almost everything that moves through it. The country's only international gateway sits in Sunan District about 24 km north of the capital, with a Terminal 2 opened in 2015 handling a thin schedule of flights to Beijing, Shenyang, Dandong and Vladivostok. Cargo capacity is minimal: most freight travels as belly load aboard Air Koryo aircraft, since dedicated freighter services are heavily curtailed by UN sanctions. Nationwide, only about 7,500 tonne-kilometres of air cargo were carried across North Korea in 2023, underlining how marginal air freight remains here. Customs clearance runs through the General Customs Administration, and import permits, inspections and compliance checks add long lead times. For commercial shipment volumes, forwarders rely not on FNJ but on the seaport of Nampo to the southwest or the rail crossing at Sinuiju into China. Anyone routing goods to FNJ should plan permits and buffer time well ahead.
