Gimhae International Airport (
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 focus city for
Jeju Air,
Jin Air 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.[citation needed] In 2018, 17,064,613 passengers used the airport.
As the airport is now beyond its design capacity and surrounded by mountains, buildings and other objectives, a
new airport is currently being built on
Gadeokdo to meet growing demand.[4][5] Because the airport is shared with military facilities, photography and video of the apron, runway, and military stations are prohibited according to the airport website.[6]
History
In August 1976, Gimhae Airport opened, and commercial air traffic shifted there from the
old airport. A new domestic terminal was completed in May 1983.[7]Korean Air launched a route to Honolulu in October 1992.[8] In April 2002,
Northwest Airlines began service to its hub at Tokyo's Narita Airport, where people could board connecting flights to the United States.[9][10] In March 2007,
Lufthansa inaugurated service to Munich via Seoul. This was the first route between Busan and Europe.[11][12] President
Roh Moo-hyun opened a new international terminal seven months later.[13]Delta Air Lines, which had merged with Northwest, ended the Tokyo link in May 2012.[9][11] Lufthansa terminated its flight to Busan in March 2014.[14]
