I didn’t think I would be able to get anywhere close to this Airport but to my surprise, I was able to drive right up to the terminal.  Contrary to what has been reported, it appeared limited construction was going on when I was there.  The Uljin Airport Terminal was smaller than the Yangyang Airport I wrote about here but was a much better looking terminal than Daegu and Busan Airports have.

 

Uljin Airportis a partially finished airport near Uljin County, South Korea. Construction was suspended in 2005 after the airport was 85% complete. The Board of Audit and Inspection halted construction after it was determined no airline wanted to use the airport. [Wikipedia]

Here are some photo’s I took of Uljim Airport.

A group of stray dogs seem to call the Airport home.

You can see more of my photo’s of Uljin Airport here.

I have heard they were considering using this Airport as a Civilian Flight Training Center and were also considering using it as a ROK Air Force Base.  It will be interesting to see what happens to this Airport.

Does anyone have any good suggestions for how South Korea could use this Airport?
