Wonju Airport is an airport in Wonju, Gangwon province, South Korea (IATA: WJU, ICAO: RKNW). During the Korean War it was designated K-46 (Hoengsong Air Base) by the United States Air Force. In 2011, 70,943 passengers used the airport, which is mainly for military use.[1]

Only one parking position is large enough for a Boeing 737-900. The airport has a single daily scheduled flight, currently operated by Korean Air to Jeju.

Wonju Airport's passenger terminal is 1.5 km from the airport runway, requiring passengers to take a shuttle (about 20 minutes) to their aircraft.[2]
