## Description

In the hills of Gangwon Province, about 100 kilometres east of Seoul, Wonju Airport (WJU) shares its single runway with Hoengseong Air Base, an active fighter installation of the Republic of Korea Air Force. The civilian side is minimal: essentially Korean Air services to Jeju from a small terminal. No freight is handled, and there are no customs facilities on site. Wonju's notable medical-device manufacturing cluster therefore ships through Incheon International (ICN), roughly 90 minutes away by truck on the Yeongdong Expressway.
