## Description

The "highway strip" tag is literal: Uthachi, in Pyongyang's Ryokpo district, is a road-based emergency airfield whose runway is a widened stretch of motorway for military contingency landings. No scheduled passenger or freight flights operate here, and there is no cargo terminal, customs warehouse or handling capability. For freight forwarders the site carries no relevance — air cargo to and from North Korea is processed solely via Pyongyang Sunan (FNJ). Its proximity to the capital reflects a purely strategic, military rationale.
