Gimhae International Airport (Korean: 김해국제공항; Hanja: 金海國際空港), commonly known as Gimhae Airport (IATA: PUS, ICAO: RKPK) (formerly Kimhae International Airport) is located on the western end of Busan, South Korea. The name "Gimhae" comes from the nearby city of Gimhae. It opened in 1976. A new international terminal opened on October 31, 2007.[3] Gimhae International Airport is the main hub for Air Busan, 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.[citation needed] 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] Because Gimhae Airport is sharing with military, taking photograph or video of apron, runway and military facility is strictly prohibited.
