About This Airport
No IATA code and no ICAO code are assigned to Changjin Air Force Base: the field in South Hamgyong province is a purely military installation of the Korean People's Army Air Force and is closed to commercial goods of any kind. Its single concrete runway, 16/34, measures roughly 2,795 by 62 metres and feeds a full-length offset taxiway leading to dispersal areas and underground facilities; open sources report a squadron of Il-28 bombers based there, though that detail is not currently confirmed. The airfield sits at around 1,050 metres above sea level, built over an emergency strip laid down by US forces during the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in the winter of 1950. There is no civil handling, no cargo terminal and no customs post, and all trade with North Korea falls under comprehensive UN Security Council sanctions, so air freight is possible only in narrowly defined, authorised exceptions. Where shipments are permitted at all, they move through Pyongyang Sunan International (FNJ), the country's only international airport, or overland via Dandong and Sinuiju on the Chinese border. Ocean cargo for the east coast is handled at the ports of Hungnam and Wonsan.
