## Description

Sacheon is the centre of Korea's aerospace industry: KAI assembles its FA-50 fighters and KF-21 prototypes right beside the runway of Sacheon Airport (HIN). Civil traffic, by contrast, is thin – a few domestic flights to Seoul-Gimpo and Jeju, shared with a Republic of Korea Air Force base, and no cargo handling at all. Components and urgent shipments for the aerospace cluster travel by road to Gimhae (PUS) near Busan or to Incheon (ICN). HIN itself remains a passenger and production site, not a freight airport.
