Chongjin Airport, known within North Korea as Orang Airport,[citation needed] is a small airport located approximately 40 kilometres from Chongjin, North Hamgyong in North Korea. Built by the Imperial Japanese Army, Chongjin Airport is now controlled by the Korean People's Army. The airport is normally used by the military, though a small number of commercial passenger flights also operate there.
The airport also serves Rason, which is about an hour and a half's drive away.
