Location

Yangyang, South Korea

Yangyang International Airport (IATA: YNY, ICAO: RKNY) is a public airport located in Yangyang County, Gangwon Province, South Korea. It serves the northeastern coastal region and was developed partly to support tourism to nearby beach resorts and ski areas. The airport has historically operated with limited scheduled domestic and international routes, with traffic volumes remaining relatively low compared to major South Korean airports. It has periodically seen increased activity tied to charter flights and seasonal tourism demand. Yangyang is one of several regional airports in South Korea that has struggled to maintain consistent airline service, and portions of the facility have been used by the Republic of Korea Air Force, reflecting its dual civilian-military heritage.
