Gimhae International Airport (Korean: 김해국제공항) (IATA: PUS, ICAO: RKPK) is located on the western end of Busan, South Korea. Opened in 1976, the airport is named after the nearby city of Gimhae. A new international terminal opened on October 31, 2007.[3] Gimhae International Airport is the main hub for Air Busan, and a secondary hub for Asiana Airlines and Korean Air. Runway 18L/36R is used for military purposes only for Gimhae Air Base, but due to increasing traffic, there are plans to open the runway for airliners. In 2018, 17,064,613 passengers used the airport.
As the airport is now beyond its design capacity and surrounded with mountains, buildings etc, a new airport is proposed to be built on Gadeokdo to meet growing demand.[4][5] Because the airport is shared with the military, photography and video of the apron, runway, and military facilities are strictly prohibited.
History
In March 2007, Lufthansa inaugurated service to Munich via Seoul using Airbus A340s.[6][7] The airline terminated the flight in March 2014.[8] There is a plan for new airport at gadeok island [9]
