No IATA code, no scheduled or cargo flights: Riwon Airbase on the east coast in Riwon-gun, South Hamgyong Province, is a purely military field. It has no civilian logistics function. Freight for the region travels by sea through the nearby east-coast ports of Hungnam and Tanchon, with air shipments routed via Pyongyang Sunan International Airport (FNJ). For forwarders, the coastal rail line along the East Sea is the real reference point.
