About Wonju/Hoengseong Air Base (K-46)

Wonju/Hoengseong Air Base, carrying the IATA designator WJU and ICAO code RKNW, is a dual-purpose facility operated jointly by the Republic of Korea Air Force and civilian aviation authorities. Originally established as a military installation, the airfield has evolved to support limited scheduled domestic services alongside executive and private charter operations. The airport’s 2,743-metre runway is well-suited to turbo-prop aircraft, light jets, and mid-size business jets, making it practical for regional and medium-range international private charter. Civilian terminal facilities are modest but functional, with customs and immigration processes available on coordination for arriving private flights. Its position within the broader framework of South Korean military airspace requires advance notice and flight plan coordination, a process Prime Jet Services manages seamlessly on behalf of clients.
